Early start.
Litchfield National Park day trip today. At the end of a “dry” dry season looks rather parched although tops of trees are green. Sparse undergrowth green in places. Lovely specimen cyads though and very impressive in clumps together. Several patches showing signs of bushfire and a couple still smouldering. One smoke hazard warning and a dark plume. Smelt it in the air.
The park must look very different in the wet season. Lots of signs saying floodway but hard to imagine the scale of the area flooded when you look at the depth markers. One lovely spot allowed a view of a part of the Adelaide River still looking good and with plenty of water.
