Travel Guide

Obviously not flowing at this stage in the Dry Season, but Leichhardt Falls is a wonderful oasis in the middle of the dry Gulf Country. Just don't be tempted to go for a swim here - completely unsafe due to the prevalence of largw saltwater crocodiles

This was taken on the main walk that follows the river. This would be around an hour into the hike. You have to cross the stream, from memory, 21 times but it's not like what you see here, it's shallow and mostly involves rock hopping. I just love the way the figs put out their roots in bizarre places.
The natural slide at this water hole just outside Springsure in Queensland.
A nice deep waterhole to stretch out in after a long day driving! Just outside Springsure in Queensland.
