Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill National Park)
The weather just gets weirder and weirder. We went to Lawn Hill NP, near the border of Queensland and NT and it feels like Tasmania! It was really cold for a couple of days, and we had a full 24 hours of rain that closed the roads for a day.
We managed to do a big long walk around the gorge before the rain really set in, and all the walking notes had handy hints like ‘make sure you do this walk in the early morning, out of the heat of the day’. The country we were walking through country LOOKED hot and dry and harsh, but we were in layers of clothes, running a little to warm up and trying to keep out of the biting wind. It was mad!
The beauty of the spectacular gorge and surrounding country was overshadowed a little by the sheer craziness of the weather. It was an amazing oasis in the gorge, and the beautifully clear green water would be so inviting to swim in when it was warm!
