Lakefield National Park - Kalpowar Crossing 12-08-10

'Ware freshwater crocodile in the Normanby river ! However not known to have taken people or children!

Rock Wallaby crossing our camping spot





Torres strait Islanders use these hard poisonous berries for decorative bead work.


Kapok tree - deciduous and the flowers are edible reported to taste like marshmallow ! The Australian first people ground the roots as medicinal use for sores.

Insect or bird nest?

We think that this is a Rainbow Bee-eater because of the elongated wire like central pair of tail feathers ?

Kapok flower

Wild passion-fruit flower

Timber steps to river where freshwater crocodiles lay low.

Our campfire - keeps the mosquitoes at bay

Green ant beware the bite yet tasty like vinegar

Insect nest fallen from tree
