Litchfield to WA

---

In Litchfield National Park, on our way to a campsite, we stopped and saw Magnetic Termite Mounds. The termites build them very skinny and pointy at the top, like a mohair hairdo. They face East for the morning sun to warm the inside, and face West to keep the mound warm overnight.

We got to Buley Rockhole and set up camp. The water was very cold and very deep and places. We found a rock with a log and swam over to it and got on it. Then we swam to the waterfall and sat on the rocks where the water couldn’t push you away as much as floating in the water beneath the waterfall. When we were leaving we saw a snake go across the path. We saw a girl touch it and when it moved quickly away, she screamed.

We stopped at Edith Falls and found the waterfall that you could swim under. We all swam over to the waterfall and back again. It was a long way, 150metres each way. It equals 300metres I swam that day, but I’ve walked 6kilometres in one day.
