The Savannah Way from the lost city to St Vidgins

Driving the SW, from Lorella Springs, our first stop was the Southern Lost City – huge coloums of sandstone created over millions of years-reminded me of Cabbadochia? in Turkey.

We stopped over night at Butterfly Springs-the only freshwater/crocodile safe place to swim along the Savannah Way-the water was freezing.

The following day saw us traverse huge river crossings, with many crocodile signs warning us not to get out of our vehicle.

 Unfortunately and not uncommon along the Savannah Way-the information signs had weathered-and we do not know why or what the ruins are at St Vidgins. At the back is a huge billabong filled with barramundi and crocodiles. We did not park close to the billabong which was fill of beautiful water lillies. I would loved to have taken some closer shots, but too scared. In the evening the wild pigs came to fossick at the water’s edge.





The sunset was spectacular-more so as there had been burn-offs in the area during the week.
