Boris the Bullet Dodger (Hlavica)

The Lost City, Litchfield
We were sad to leave Darwin and to say goodbye to Kel, willo and black bean. Thanks for a great time! We then ventured into Litchfield National Park. It is famous for its magnetic termite mounds and beautiful waterfalls and it did not disapoint.






Magnetic Termite Mounds




Waterfalls























Mark with the Tripod


We swam in the plunge pools, bush walked through the spooky collection of rocks called the lost city and went skinny dipping. We were determined to use our photography skills to get se of those perfect water fall shots. You know the one...where the shutter speed is left open and the water looks like mist. It is this ambition that has led me to dedicate this post to Boris Hlavica our photography teacher and excellent photographer from Broken Hill. It is Boris who taught us that some shots are BORING! The light must be right and sometimes you have to camp on a hill for 5 days.

We did not quite camp but we did end up waiste deep with our tripod in the water. After lots of giggles and a few slippery moments we thought we had some good shots. What do you think?

Olive Python

 It was on return from our waterfall exploits that this big mumma python frightened the hell out of us! After our initial shock we watched this 3m python in awe. He was beautiful.

Litchfield was very accessible, even to 2wd. It is a must.

Next we are off to see Taz and Mal! Excitement!!!
