Litchfield National Park
In Litchfield went to a camping area in the park that was for 4wd’s only, close to Florence Falls. This was true camping with no water, bathrooms or showers and only a few other hardcore campers around. We pitched tent, made dinner, had a camp fire and later lay in our tent staring at the amazing night sky. Early the next morning we headed on a walk into Florence Falls where we both went for a refreshing swim with the breathtaking backdrop of the falls. We jumped back into our truck and headed further into the park and stopped at Tolmer Falls which we viewed the 100m falls from a lookout then on to Surprise Creek. Now to get to Surprise Creek you have to drive 30 km through creeks in 4wd terrain. Casey had an absolute blast driving! Arriving at Surprise Creek we felt like we had found a secret oasis tucked away in the park. Casey was awe struck at the beauty of this place and felt it was the most beautiful place he has ever seen. When you first enter through the lush green trees you see a pool of emerald clear quiet water. As you peek around the corner you see that this lagoon like pool was feed by a waterfall cascading into another pool which trickles over the rocks into the first pool. When you climb up to the top of this waterfall you see that there is second waterfall that cascades into another pool of its own which feeds the first fall. This second waterfall is fed by a beautiful trickling creek that is surrounded by rolling rocks and green palm trees. We had an absolutely amazing day where again we were reminded of how God is truly the greatest artist there ever has been and ever will be.
