The entrance into the beautiful Litchfield National Park is guarded by these giant termite mounds built by giant termites. Remarkably the mounds face true north and south ensuring the hot sun does not impact too severely on the inhabitants. Inside the mound is a catacomb of holes and tubes filled and compacted in many cases with grasses and straw as food lots.

This particular mound is 6.5 metres high and has been examined and found to be over 50 years old.
