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.
Barramundi Discovery Centre
Norman River
Can’t remember the last time I used…
Needed to make a phone booking and our phone provider didn’t have coverage at Karumba… 😯
This morning’s walk
Walking from caravan park towards Karumba east of Norman river.
Karumba
Beautiful sunset viewed at the Tavern during dinner
Normanton
Visited Normanton during our lunch stop while travelling to Karumba.
Adels Grove
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
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.
Gregory
Based here at the riverside free camp for 3 nights… beautiful but quite popular location. Will leave the caravan due to 100km of poor dirt road conditions and travel in to Lawn Hill & Adels Grove on day 2 of 3 in the Jeep only (booked accommodation for this night).
The Gregory River is a river located in the Northern Territory and the state of Queensland, Australia. The river is the largest perennial river in arid and semi-arid Queensland, one of the few permanently flowing rivers in the northwest of Queensland.
REFRESHING! with day temps over 30.
