Leichhardt Falls

3 hours west of Normanton and along a lot of dirt is Leichhardt Falls. It's weird... we really are in the middle of nowhere,  free camping at the top of the falls with maybe 20 others, and we have Telstra reception to post this... go figure.

We came via Burke and Wills' 2nd last camp on the way to the Gulf, camp 119. It's where they temporarily left King and made the final (unsuccessful) push to the Gulf. On returning to the camp they started to make their way back down south but... we know how that story ends. 
Really interesting to walk and stand among the trees they blazed.





We then went on to Leichhardt Falls where we stayed the night on the rocks above the falls. 
Beautiful. 



?? Really??






Crocs in the creek below. 
Just gorgeous. 

On to Gregory Downs this morning.
