Walker Creek Litchfield National Park

FF
This creek flows out of the northern slopes of the Tabletop Range. A walk follows the creek up towards the secondary plateau for 1.8 kilometres. Eight camping sites have been established along the creek at suitable rock holes. This is one of those places that you normally hear about later from someone who says “did you go to this place, it was the best.”
