Well today we packed up and said goodbye to Dave, Emma and Diesel (their black lab) and headed for Litchfield NP. Stopped at some massive termite mounds first up. Their were two types - cathedral mounds and these flat ones (can't remember the names of those ones). Anyone the flat ones area all in alignment. The flat sides face East / West so to maximise the morning heat from the sun after a cold night. Apparently the termites that do this have a built in compass - clever little tikes aren't they.
Then we dropped in at Tolmey falls - good to look at but you can't swim there because it has Aboriginal significance.
Then off to our camp spot for the night which was Wangi Falls. Wangi Falls was spectacular and it was great to spend the afternoon there after a hot day. There were heaps of fish too to snorkle with including some fairly big Sooty Grunters. Bridget is a bit like a fish, as she swims better under the water than on the top.
Only thing in these places are these signs......
it is of interest that the brothers have made tolmey falls a site of significance. someone must have dropped thier wallet in there as few years ago it was no different to any of the other pools. perhaps it could be possesion by stealth one in all in.and another brown area inked in on the map. i am still waiting for the story of the big barra that you just managed to bag. see ya
