The termite mounds we’ve seen while travelling around the tropical regions of Australia have kept us amused on long journeys with their variations in shape, size and colour. The termite mounds in Litchfield National Park are a bit special as they are flat, like tombstones and are aligned north-south to minimise the amount of heat received from the midday sun in the north. Unusually, in the same area are some cathedral shaped mounds which are particularly tall.
For the night we found an idyllic spot by a creek near Robin Falls. Much refreshed after a swim in the cold plunge pool at the base of the falls we dined on buffalo sausages by a roaring camp fire (too hot but mossie repellent).
