Travelling through cattle stations we arrive at Boodjamulla National Park (Lawn Hill) with its spring fed emerald waters and lush vegetation - this is an oasis teaming with diverse wildlife. Here you can hire a canoe* and venture into the heart of the gorge or hike one of the many tracks for a spectacular panoramic view. This is where we set up camp for another night under the stars.
