We had great fun exploring LNP as it was a series of rivers feeding into each other and dotted with beautiful swimming holes and waterfalls where we could see fish and turtles and much to the boys delight they popped up out of the water one swim to find a water monitor next to them on the rock. We also went on our first 4WD track to the Lost City. A series of ancient rocks which as they have eroded do resemble an ancient lost city. The road in was quite hairy and it took me 1/2 hour to go 10kms! Boys loved the 4WDriving more than the lost city of course! The second photo is of a Magnetic termite mound who build them so the narrowest line faces east west and therefore the mound doesnt overheat -aint nature clever!
The spiders are Golden Orbs -they were everywhere at one particular area and make the biggest webs. The photos are of females whose bodies can be around 5cm long and then add the legs, but the male is only 5mm! and the female will sometimes eat him once shes had her way!! he he The Golden Orb can make you very sick but not fatal, unusual for northern Australia!
The 3rd last photo we liked because if you look at the profile of the rock carefully it looks like a face..?
Finally, i'd like to introduce Wil's new school tutor, Praying Mantis, or Manti for short. After watching Kungfu Panda i thought it the wisest choice ; )
