Bing Bong Bay still wasn't quite done with us yet, on leaving we ran over a partly submerged rusty steel pipe and it slashed our brand new, 2 day old, $320 tyre! BLOODY HELL!!! Our tyre dilemma was beginning to wear thin, no pun intended, so we had to change our plans for KIng Ash Bay and head back into town to find a tyre place. We went to three different tyre places and no one had the tyre we needed so we went 100ks out of our way to try another place and they didn't even have a work shop. We decided to continue onto Limmen NP and would sort out the tyre along the way some where.

We headed into Limmen NP having heard that there were some great swimming holes and amazing rock formations. We stayed at Lorella Springs and tracked along a dry creek bed to find a great little swim hole. James and Daniel dared each other to jump off the rocks, like I've said before, some one has to take the photos! I did go in for a swim and I'll have you all know, I was the first one in..OK, I didn't stay in for long but it still counts!!

A lovely billabong that meandered along the road.

After drying off, our next item on the agenda was to check out the Lost City. We pulled into the camping area and we were lost for words. This place is breath taking. Huge pillars of rock surround you and the camp ground was at the base of it. The walk through the rocks was alot of fun and I couldn't decide what the best photo angle was so I took heaps of pictures. I have earned the reputation of being the parent paparazzi! The walk took an hour or so added to the fact that we scavenged for wood too and then settle into camp with a cold beer and relaxed for the rest of the afternoon. The Trip into Limmen NP was well worth it just for this!
Being in the NT we will be seeing many a rock this is just the start, hopefully our camp spots are just as good and we get to enjoy it without crowds and big fires. Stay tuned.
