Cathedral Termite Mounds

We departed Kakadu National Park this morning for the return trip to Darwin. In route we had a morning tea break at the Bark Hut, a very Australian-looking outback store and bar. Then we stopped by a site of Cathedral termite mounds along the road. There are termite mounds everywhere around this area, but the Cathedral mounds are especially great because they are so tall. The mound I am pictured with below is over 13 feet tall and probably at least 20-30 years old.

They like the termites better in Australia then we do in the States... Some don't even eat wood.
