25th & 26th June 2014 Flora National Park

This park was 46km from the highway so next to nobody goes out to it.
The road was dirt but very good condition, the camp was a great surprise, solar hot water showers, flushing toilets, drinking water and a fireplace at ever camp area that was made for bbq or cooking.
The camp was so quiet and peaceful, as only approx 5 campers there, and all is for $6.60 each a night.
There was 2 close walks to falls that we went on, they were beautiful, and the surrounding bush very lush.
As usual we checked out the boat ramp,  which was really the only easy access to the river, the ramp was 2 large pipes covered in poly pipe, this was on a steep angle down a bank, there was a winch fixed at the top, the whole setup was for people with tinnies to be able to launch, no motor more than 15hp was permitted on the river, it would be impossible to get anything any larger on.
The river was hard to access without pushing through the bush, Merv wanted to put the canoes in at the ramp but I said I would watch but not go. The river was much larger than we thought and had crocodiles, fresh for sure, ever year they get a couple around the 4 metre out of it, I didn't want to shorten my holiday yet.
So we  chose to fish from the shore, taking extreme care, we caught 5 barramundi, but all under size, the bag limit is 5 each, we couldn't believe it, who could eat that much.
The camps had large wallabies hopping around all day, when you drove down the road a lot of caution was needed, as they were everywhere, along with very BIG kangaroos.
For peace and quiet nothing beats this, sitting around the fire with a beer, reading and listening to the night curlews.
