THE END OF LITCHFIELD TOUR
A few short Photo stops on our way back to accommodation 
200 year old banyan tree
200 year old banyan tree
It's got vines that hang from the branches, and when they touch the ground they take root and become another mini trunk of the tree. . Really big. 
Termites build these mounds for several reasons: as a place to store plant material, to protect them from ants and other predators, and to provide them with dry ground in the event of season flooding. The photograph, shows a "Cathedral Mound" which is, perhaps, 100 years old, and is probably about 7or 8 metres tall.

The Lost City
The Lost City is an area of unusual sandstone pillars and block formations evoking the ruins of a long forgotten civilisation that have been sculpted by wind and rain over thousands of years.

Yes, thanks for the ride along with you. I don't know where else in the world they have those termite mounds. We did see some very old banyan trees in Hawaii.

G'day, G'day Jan, that was interesting thank you.

Hello Jen Thanks for more great photos
of places I will never see. And thanks
for the comments, glad you liked the
poem etc. Thanks for the e-mail also, I will probably post it, although Peter posted it a long time ago.Tonight I am having trouble getting my post on.
Take care, Hugs, Merle.
Hi Jen,
What wonderful pictures, and what an interesting country you have there. One day I'd like to visit it.
Janice~
More great photos .. thank you so much. What a wonderful country we live in, and there is always something new to see. You could spend a whole lifetime travelling in Australia, and still not see it all.
Thanks again.
Take care, Meow
