Douglas Daly.

After Pine creek we took a drive North to the Douglas Daly area. A lot of this area was still flooded 5 weeks ago, so many of the water holes are not open for swimming yet as they are still checking for CROCS!!!!! Butterfly Gorge is unfortunately closed, however we camped at Douglas hot springs, here thermal springs create an oasis in the surrounding dry woodland. These springs are very hot in places and cool in others. The bird life is great and very active, along with the water monitors.  A fantastic place to while away the day.  Steve made me go down the rapids here and now I am cut and bruised as I got washed over the rocks!!!!

Next we took a drive to The Arches and the water hole, this was a lot bigger than expected and very pretty and an amazing amount of water travelling through here. A great place to spend some time
Me at Douglas hot springs- before being injured!!!!

Keep watching to come shortly Litchfield National Park and what a gem, spring fed waterfalls creating crocodile - free water holes for swimming, which we need now the weather is warmer!!!
