Is a campsite that has water (that you need to boil) toilets and showers. It also has hot thermal springs which are (in parts) hot enough to burn you. Pay attention to the signs and it is a great place to visit. The spring itself is about waist deep at the deepest, and knee deep throughout most. You can light fires anywhere, and firewood isn’t too hard to find, but generally best to gather some on the way in.

Channel Point
Need a permit to get in
The boat ramp is nice but you need around 3.5 metres to get out with a smaller boat
And the wind goes straight onto the boat ramp so it can be a hard launch
Real nice camp site, basic, but good
Whitehaven Beach
Whitehaven Beach
Constantly rated in one of the 10 best beaches in the world
It is hardly seen by many Australians
If you go to Airlie see it
The sand is white, not photoshopped, utterly white.
Amazing
Me at whitehaven, slightly skinner
One of the best photos I’ve taken
Cascades – Litchfield
Cascades is divided into two areas, upper cascades and lower cascades
You can swim at both in the dry, generally only upper cascades in the wet
It is a short but very tricky walk, with a lot of rocks
Nice to get away from the crowds, but expect some people there
Lower is under a waterfall
Upper are mostly small rockpools
Greenant Creek – Litchfield
Greenant creek is location in litchfield, a 1.6km walk will take you to a nice waterfall and a viewing platform. You can’t get into the water there or anywhere downstream from it, as it is a sacred site for the traditional owners, however, you can swim* at a really nice rockpool right above it. I have been told it is best in wet season, these pictures are from February 2015, and it was a Saturday and we had the rockpool all to ourselves.
* it isn’t a zoned swimming site but the rangers “are aware people swim there and we don’t mind. Be careful of flash flooding as you are right above a waterfall”
