Litchfield National Park

Joey loves Mr Bean!! Florence Falls in the background. No comment from the peanut gallery required here!!






Getting to be a habit, meeting famous movie stars!! At Florence Falls I bumped into the 'three stooges'....






We had lunch near Florence Falls and happened to see this 'Martin's Lizard' make his way across the stream in search of a snack maybe??





We had a rough track to drive across to reach the 'Lost City' - a bunch of rocks that have eroded away into some weird shapes across a couple of hectares of land area....









Tolmer Falls is another of the more popular falls in Litchfield, however there is no swimming in this area allowed.










If you look closely you can see Lee, Joey & Sam swimming at the base of Wangi Falls. Mostly freshwater crocs are found here but they don't trouble people unless they feel threatened.

After the boys and Lee returned safely I went in for a swim!!



This is the magnificent Wangi Falls in Litchfield NP. The camp ground was about 200m from this swimming hole. Very hard to take when it's 32-34 degrees!!

The swimming hole was closed a couple of days before we arrived due to finding and trapping a 2.5 metre salt water crocodile.....
