Limmen is a relatively newly declared National Park. There is still some feral cattle/ buffalo wandering around but never the less , the Park is so large that there is ample space here that you would not necessarily meet up with these animals. There is a huge range of different landscapes - from wooded areas to sand. From flat plains ti quite hilly ranges and lots of rivers , some flowing but most not ate this time of the year.

This was part of our trip along a back road and we really enjoyed the beautiful countryside we drove thru.. The characters we met - a road maintenance crew were great even spending time to chat as they had a break for the day.

I passed through Limmen National Park on my motorcycle and was disappointed not to have more time to spend there (I had lost time due to a mechanical issue near Borroloola).

It was, however, a stunning drive through wild bushland, with red rock formations, dry rivers beds (or very shallow crossings) and plenty of flora to keep nature-lovers and photographers interested. I spent the night at the Towns River campsite, which is maintained by Parks NT. This is a lovely spot, though you'll need to bring your own water and there are not showers. Sunrise over the river is a beautiful way to start the day, but don't be tempted to swim, for estuarine crocodiles live in this river!
