Lawn Hill National Park NW Qld

We travelled on from the falls, through Burketown (not much worth saying about that place) to Lawn Hill National Park. We headed to Lawn Hill from a recommendation of a traveller we had met a few weeks before, and we are so glad we took his advice. This place was beautiful. We camped right on the river’s edge, and we canoed up through the Lawn Hill gorge, to a waterfall, we enjoyed a swim and some fun jumping off the falls before we carried the canoes around the falls and continued up through the gorge. We had to battle up some rapids, finishing at a set of rapids which we were not going to be able to continue on from so we dragged the canoes up the rapids and did the “Solo Man” back down the rapids in the canoes....”that was awesome fun”, was the general consensus.

From all the flat country we had been travelling through it had been strange to see hills again, and Lawn Hill National Park is an oasis out here.
