These pictures are from Table Top Swamp in the Litchfield National Park. This swamp is, rather surprisingly, at the top of hill! It sits in a depression in a large stoney plateau, and all the water in the swamp comes from rain fall as no rivers flow into it. This swamp fills during the wet season, and shrinks in the dry. We visited towards the end of the dry, and you could see large areas around the 'pond' that had clearly been underwater recently.
It was a rather splendid place.
quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely spot. It must get lots of rain in the rain season to still look like that in the dry.
ReplyDeleteWhat an intriguing name! I find swamps to be very interesting places; you never know what you might find in one. I like your last photo the best.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!

It is lovely ... my favorite kind of place. Swamp and slough (both common names around where we live in Florida) are unpretty words to describe beautiful places ... and harken back to when the attitude was that they were wasted lands that should be drained and built on or farmed ("Big sugar " ruining the Everglades). Now we must backpedal and try to restore or save what is left.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty- love the clear water and the reflections!

ReplyDeleteFascinating landscape.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me a lot of the Great Dismal Swamp (talk about negative-connotations of names! :-) ) in North Carolina & Virginia! :-)
