Bush mechanics

Today we set out to see some waterfalls and have a swim in Litchfield. After driving down a 4wd track, a river crossing with potentially crocs and lunch with loud cicadas, we still had not seen any falls or swum.

We decided to head back to a “tourist waterfall” as Craig called it. Coming back through the river, Craig pulled after he was through. Over the CB was “i have lost a bash plate”. We reverse back, park and get out. Kate is unsure if we are far enough away from any crocs based on repeated questions. I assure her that 40m will be fine.

An hour later, 35 degree heat, Craig’s towel, but shifter and bottle jack and shovel later and the offending plates are off.

Here are some pics

Made it to Wangi Falls and they were awesome. Craig will have pics but essentially a large lake with massive waterfalls. Quite impressive. The kids though so two asthe boys climbed up the sides and explored like monkeys!

Heading south tomorrow for the run home, time has flown!
