Days 34 - 36 Leichardt Lagoon

After the constant activity of the coast to coast bike ride we headed for peace and quiet of the Leichardt Lagoon. The signs on the trees were a bit ominous and were reinforced by our having to sign a waiver for the park management in case we were nipped, bitten or eaten by a croc or poisoned by a snake.

The lagoon itself looked beautiful and had so many birds. In fact there was a pretty raucous evening and dawn chorus.

During the wet, the water was 3m above the ground level for 7 weeks. It was amazing to think that the trees in this picture had survived being under water for that long. We set up a more permanent camp and wrote up our blog.
