What a day. Set off to Litchfield. Got off onto the wrong road. Leigh navigating. Eventually stopped at Finnis River Store. School teacher getting in early on the development told us to go to Petheriske. We did. Met Ray who is married to an aboriginal. The thermal pool near his house was paradise. Lady sitting on the edge washing her clothes. Surrounded by Mango trees. Went from there to camping spot to walk in the rain forest. Saw smoke as we approached Morris went ahead and signalled to Keddie to follow. When we arrived a fire had just burnt a tent and fire was spreading. Morris sent us to get Ray. P. which we did. Fire was almost out when we came back. People had disappeared. Went on our walk to rain forest and spitfire. Rain forest a bit thin. Good views. Continued on by car to Gorge Park to find Kings Tours had lost an elderly tourist. Helped in the search while we visited falls. Then went back to Peth to get some people who knew the area. Couldn’t do much more so drove on to Wangi Falls. After much deliberation we camped at Wangi. Bad Decision. Falls and pool were beautiful we had a good swim before tea, theral spa bath, 2 streams of water. Very dusty dirty camp sites. Mosquitoes in 1000’s. Early to bed, but yokels next door, very bad language, dog fighting, great emotional debates at the top of their voices. Mosquitoes nearly carried thr truck away, Leigh snored. Very little sleep.
