so slow that we were practically in rewind, we emerged from jasper bleary eyed to find that even the neighbours were having a smoke. It was time for an oat hit.
and then a morning frolic down at the adjacent springs with everyone else who had made the discovery.
we trucked on up to robin falls, just outside litchfield national park. the falls themselves were like a massive set of rock stairs that had collapsed in the middle, as if cracked by an overweight giant descending the steps. i suspect the giant may have been the winner of last year's masterchef australia: julie goodwin, known as 'the elephant' in cooking circles. or perhaps it was an ancient tectonic plate shift that generated a point of weakness (though after witnessing the horror of julie's appearance on this year's final, one really does wonder...). in any case, it created some cool little rockpools to enjoy.
next to the entry point to the falls track was a beautiful running stream that evoked tasmanian moorland. we had another little dip before a friendly snake decided to join us in the water and we exited in a manner that defied gravity, matrix-style.
we arrived at sandy creek, our campspot for the day, and then marched on off to the tjaynera falls a few kilometres away.
and that's it for day 14! see you next time xxx
