21st July, 2014

After a full afternoon and night of charge the battery bank was well and truly charged and we were ready to change locations. We packed up trying to remember how our system worked and where everything went, after one week in the same place you start to forget, then we were on the way to Litchfield.

All of the literature states you must be in early or you will not get a campsite, some even suggested missing out at 9:00 am. We travelled west and then came in to Litchfield from the North. About half of that road is sealed and rest is dirt, overall it was in pretty good nick.

Arriving just after 10:00 we drove into the camping area and the first camper trailer/caravan site we came across (number 4) was vacant so we reversed in and started setting up. There was a procession of vans that followed us in and before long people were trying to squeeze two onto a site. I reckon there were four vacant sites when we arrived, so if you are coming here, arrive early.

We managed to squeeze a swim in before lunch, had lunch and then returned in the afternoon for another swim, once the kids had done some homework. This is a beautiful spot, you can here the water gushing over the falls from our campsite and here the bats in the distance. There are heaps of birds flying around, particularly whistling kites scavenging for food.
