Australia So Much to See
Litchfield National Park - Buley Rockhole and Florence Falls
Buley Rockhole on Florence Creek is very popular so we started early in the day to ensure we could park in the small car
parking area. A pretty series of cascades and pools tumble down and continues over some distance. They were described
by another camper as water flowing through a series of champagne glasses. Although the morning air was still cool, I swam in
the largest and top most of the pools, which was quite deep. There was such a force of water entering the pool from beyond a
fence that I was unable to stay in the foaming bubbles below it due to the flow of the water. We walked some way as the cascades
continued on down the creek, lessening in size further downstream. There is a small campground on site with minimal amenities.
We returned via the one kilometre Shady Creek walk which is an easy pathway along the creek line, through at first monsoon forest,
then through open woodland as we headed away from the creek and back to the car park.
The viewing platform looking down onto the dual streams was crowded as the tour coaches had just arrived. A series of 160 steps
goes down to the plunge pool where the two streams tumble into the green plunge pool.
We took the easy way and drove to
For those taking the three kilometre walk between Florence Creek and Buley Rockhole, it is recommended to start at the Florence Creek
end due to lack of parking space at Buley Rockhole. This walk is linked to the 39 kilometre Tabletop walk trail.
