Taylah's Tales: Litchfield National Park

Dad drove us to Litchfield National Park. I played putt putt with dad at the park where we stayed. They had trees with big leaves. It also had a pool and we swam. The next day we went to Buley rock pools and Florence falls where we swam. The water fall looked like a big white sheet and the water was cold. We also seen big termite mounds. Did you know there are six types of termites. The Alates have wings and fly around. Then there are the Soldiers and they defend the other termites. Next are the Workers and Larvae termites. The Nymphs are termites that will eventually turn into Alates. The flying termites. The last one is the Queen termite who has all the babies. She lives in a big area called a royal chamber. They were the best.

We stayed at a place called Wangi Falls and it had two water falls coming down the rocks. We swam over to the water falls and climbed into a secret rockpool. It was very deep. The water was warm in the rockpool.We saw a goanna eating a snake. We went on a bushwalk up to the top of the water falls and it was nice. We saw more flying foxes. We visited Tolney falls but there was not much water coming down and the bushwalk was boring except for when mum was about to step on a stone but it was a big blue tongue lizzard. It hissed and we screamed. It was funny.

Dad took us on a 4WD to a place called the Lost City. It looks like big lego rocks all destroyed. The 4WD was bumpy and fun. We also went to the Blyth Homestead. We had to cross two creek crossings in our car. The creeks had crocodiles in them but we didn't see any. At the Blyth homestead we learned they had fourteen children. During the war a Japanese plane was shot down right near there house. We collected tin. I will bring some in to school to show you all. I loved Wangi Falls.
