Witjira

Got into Witjera NP

The remote Witjira National Park in South Australia. The road to here was boggy in places, but little did we know it was to get even boggier.

The Palms

Palm Valley NP near Cooyar.

The Palms National Park just north of Cooyar is a small stand of palms reminiscent of the forest at Lamington National Park on the Gold Coast. Though small, it was worth saving as it is a little oasis amongst the farmlands.

Remarkable View

Battle Mountain

This is the view from Battle Mountain, also known as Mount Remarkable. It is a spectacular view and there is a stone circle memorial on top, to remember those who died here. This place should be a National Park on the World Heritage list.

Spelunking In Camooweal

Camooweal Spelunk

Spelunking in a long and difficult cave near Camooweal Caves National Park. The entrance was just wide enough to squeeze through and the going was tough on knees and elbows. The important thing was that we made it in and out alive, the air felt thick and low in oxygen. Every task seemed twice as difficult as usual and I'm sure there was an elevated level of carbon dioxide.

National Park

Palm Valley, Finke River

At the beginning of the Palm Valley section of the Finke Gorge National Park.  This is a spectacular park well worth the visit.  Dry season is the go though, if it were wet, many of the river crossings would have been over the roof of the little Suzuki.

Sunrise Reflection

Lawn Hill Gorge National Park

The early morning sun hits a warm rock wall in the National Park at Lawn Hill Gorge.  Unfortunately the sky is overexposed, but the reflection turned out just beautifully.

Hell's Gates

IMG_3806

This Hell's Gates lookout at Noosa Heads National Park. It's a wonderful walk out and back along a very scenic track. The track is going to be closed very shortly for repairs, so if you want a look, get in now or you'll have to wait a few months.
