…blessed to live and travel in Australia
What a contrast! It’s been over three months of hot days, no rain and cloudless skies. Now based in close proximity to Atherton at Bonadio RV & Nature Park. The max. day temperature has dropped from mid 30’s to 22 and it’s cloudy with light showers.
Only a short walk to the Barron River…
Free camp for overnight stay about half way between Karumba and Atherton Tableland… peaceful, one of the best sunsets but really hot until the sun set.
Needed to make a phone booking and our phone provider didn’t have coverage at Karumba… 😯
Walking from caravan park towards Karumba east of Norman river.
Beautiful sunset viewed at the Tavern during dinner
Visited Normanton during our lunch stop while travelling to Karumba.
Stayed overnight in donga style accommodation rather than driving back to the van. Adels Grove Camping Ground is an eco-sensitive park on Lawn Hill Creek, located 10 kilometres downstream from Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park. Adels Grove is set among a plantation of exotic trees initially grown by the French Botanist Albert de Lestang in the 1930s.
Lawn Hill Gorge is formed by Lawn Hill Creek, which is fed by numerous freshwater springs from the limestone plateau to the west. The magnitude of the sandstone cliffs lining the gorge, its emerald waters and lush vegetation make it a visual splendour. Serving as an oasis, the spring water and surrounding vegetation attract an abundance of wildlife.
The 1.5km late morning (hot) walk to the falls & a swim…
… Indarri Falls, five small but invigorating waterfalls. We swam to all 5!
… and then onto Indarri Falls Lookout before returning for lunch at the ranger’s station.
