Cape York Trip – Post 12

Old Laura Homestead to Kalpowar crossing

 

There are numerous water holes and camping spots off the "main" road through the national park. Most of them such as this one Catfish waterhole have lots of water lillies.

 

Old Faithful water hole.

 

 

 

 

Had lunch on the banks of Old Faithful water hole. Perhaps it wasn't as picturesque as others we saw but it was the most interesting.

 

 

Crocodile cropped

 

 

 

 

I don't have a zoom lens with me but this is cropped from the above image. This fellow was scarily large and didn't give a rats about us or that we were watching him. Could even think that he was just cruising past to let us know that this water hole was his.

 

 

 

Termite mounds

 

 

 

 

There are lots of large termite mounds and two distinct types. The most interesting are the tall thin ones. Similar to cathedral spires. I am not sure if there are two distinct species of termites.
