Magnetic Termite Mounds

Just when you thought you knew the ingenuity of termites, these rise up from the landscape.

overview

Road Access:  Sealed
Difficulty:  Very easy.  Grade 1 Walk.  A short walk from car park.

Unlike our usual Cathedral Termite Mounds you see throughout the north, these gravestone looking high-rises are architectural feats.  You will be amazed at how they are aligned north to south to minimise the exposure to the sun.

Images show difference between our winter dry season and our tropical summer.
