Short Getaway - Part 2

 Well, as promised, I've finally edited the last 

of our photos from our short getaway to Dundee

Beach and beyond.

Since moving here, in 2013, we still have yet to visit

Litchfield National Park. I know. Shame, shame. 

It's on my big bucket list. 

But anyway, on our way home from Dundee Beach,

we thought we'd take a short detour through Litchfield

and at least get a quick peek. This is not classed as visiting

the park, in my opinion, as I'm anxious to go just after the wet,

in order to see all the falls flowing. 

Anyway, we were able to have a quick look at Wangi Falls.

It was very busy with swimmers (despite numerous crocs caught 

there over the years), but I was able to imagine what it would look like in the wet at least. 

After our brief iced coffee and short walk, we

headed off and onto the Reynolds River Track 

to check that out. Turns out it wasn't much of a 4WD 

track, at least not in the dry, but was a nice change 

from the usual Stuart Hwy trek. 

A lot of sandy roads and an interesting old mine to

walk around and read about. 

 Then, of course, fire!

We hoped that we wouldn't have to turn around

and go all the way back because of the fires, 

but thankfully, after passing them quite close,

the road veered in a different direction. 

A couple of small creek crossings. 

One of the highlights was a herd ? mob? of buffalo

taking a bath in a dam. They're so ugly. But interesting.

Anyway, the biggest mob I've seen before. 

All in all, it was a nice, brief, getaway for Dave and I,

and another road travelled that we hadn't driven before. 

Life is short. Make the most of those times to 

get away and spend time with those you love,

adventuring together and enjoying God's beautiful creation.
