Three nights in Batchelor

Sunday10 th July

Very hot 34 degrees on arrival at Batchelor but a large park with lots of trees although didn't effect Allan's Foxtel. Every night at 5.45 pm food is put out for the birds & quite amazing how the different breeds knew which food was theirs.

  We set off to the Litchfield National Park & first stop was the magnetic termite mounds. These were a much paler colour to the ones we had seen in their millions over the previous couple of weeks.

The photo is not of the magnetic ones but a larger type which seem to be prevalent to this area. There were a few people around here but from then on it became hard to find a park at the next stops. Many people took advantage of the waterfalls to swim in.

Very nice picnic tables on the way to the falls here so we had our coffee before moving The above photo was Buley Rockhole. We then drove to Florence Falls & took photos looking at the falls as a long walk down & masses of people.

Next stop was Wangi Falls & a very nice spot with lots of room to picnic. After taking photos of the falls we did a walk & ended up on a platform amongst the tree tops. Thankfully some seating to catc our breath as lots of steps but easy going down.

It was very hot returning to the car to collect our chairs & picnic lunch but found a shaded place & really enjoyed just sitting there relaxing.

The round trip was about 120 klm's & a most enjoyable day . Allan spent the next morning cleaning the car & caravan & later we walked to check out the "town" of Batchelor which was a General store pub & takeaway. We went to the pub for happy hour & decided to eat there as well. Our pizza was excellent & John & Sue enjoyed their meals too. Really enjoy being able to walk to have dinner out although a courtesy bus is great too. A very pleasant stay & once again good to be on a grass site. Love Allan& Bev.
