BACK ONTO THE DIRT After quite a stint on the blacktop it was time to head north to Lawn Hill National Park. |
O’SHANNESY RIVER After thousands of kilometres of dry, semi arid country we came across this river. In this part of the country there are several spring fed creeks & rivers that are absolute havens. Although there are fresh water crocs throughout this region these rapids were irresistible. |
O’SHANNESY CROSSING We crossed & decided to camp a little downstream. We had our first natural bath for months in the rapids. After the arid landscape of central Australia it was such a transformation to these new semi-tropical surroundings. The banks of the river is filled with cabbage palms, paperbarks, ferns & an abundance of birdlife. |
