This morning we made the decision to get away early and head out to Buley Rockholes in an effort to beat the crowds of yesterday. We where down there by 9:00 am and the crowds were no where to be seen. There was a group of about 4 backpackers down there to share the entire rockholes with. 

The water was surprisingly mild and we had a ball swimming, diving, exploring and jumping into the rock pools before the crowds started to roll in. It's a very short walk in for the car park and easily achieved by everyone.

The Rockholes follow the length of the creek and you can choose which hole you want to swim in and explore, it is great fun and a beautiful spot to have a swim.

After the Rockholes we drove into the Lost City and did a short walk through the rock pillars. These rock pillars are out in the middle of nowhere and give the appearance of a long forgotten civilisation.

When we left the Lost City we drove to Tolmer Falls and did the short walk to the lookout. The walk is very simple and designed for people in wheel chairs to be able to get down to. You are not able to get down to the bottom for a number of reasons which I won't go in to now.

Back to camp for lunch and more swimming at Wangi Falls. This is a sensational spot to camp, with the falls a short 400 metre walk from our tent site. We have spent hours relaxing in and exploring the plunge pool. The showers are only just warm which is a bit of mystery considering the solar on the roof of the shower block but the campgrounds are not too big, the sites relatively private and there is plenty of wildlife around.

We were due to leave tomorrow but the rest of the Reynolds Track has been opened today and now we have the opportunity to explore Surprise Creek Falls, so we are still debating what to do. Ohh the decisions a travelling family must make.
