We packed a picnic lunch and set off to explore the rest of the park. First stop was Tolmer Falls lookout. Tolmer is a very deep, spectacular water fall.
Next stop was Florence Falls. It was wall-to-wall people including a girl in a bikini getting her pictures taken posing on the rocks in front of the falls. The pouting and posturing was quite entertaining.
We walked the rainforest circuit track back to the car and headed to Buley Rock Hole. Again the water was crowded. This time the font stage stars of the waterfall spray were two very large, very ocker, very loud Aussie blokes. Eventually Gerd had to help lift these whales out of the water. I didn’t bother with photos this time.
After lunch we drove to Lost City. It is a 4WD corrugated track for about 12 km which requires dropping the tyre pressure to about 24psi for reasonable comfort. We were amazed at the number of vehicles making the journey. Huge sandstone rocks are tumbled about over a large area vaguely resembling the walls and ramparts of an ancient city. I was more impressed this time than on a previous visit.
We returned to Wangi Falls campground. Gerd went in for a swim. I was tired so I just took pictures of the sunset colours on the rock walls, but there was no time when people weren’t in the view finder.
