Emily @ Litchfield National Park

We spent today exploring Litchfield National Park. It was a very hot day and quite muggy so we were happy when we got to a water hole where we could swim.
First we looked at the Magnetic Termite Mounds.It looked rather like a graveyard. Then we drove to Florence Falls and walked a little way until we got to a waterhole.Josh and I counted 187 steps! In the water there were fish around 30 cm and Josh ankle got chewed on! The water was very cold but it was lovely. When we were ready to go we decided not to go the long way up 187 stairs, so we walked back along a shady creek walk. We walked to Tolmer falls lookout. There was a very skinny waterfall and it looked wonderful.

We drove to the Wangi falls picnic area and had lunch there and then walked down to the swimming hole. The water was beautiful with three different waterfalls falling into it. Mum and I swam out to the waterfalls. The smallest one was so warm as it ran down metres of hot rocks. Next to the pool we saw a water monitor sitting in the grass.
It was a great day!
