magnetic termites
Just outside Litchfield Park, I ran into this field of magnetic termite mounds. They align themselves to take advantage of sun at certain times of the year. They are reallly huge - some looked to be about 4m tall - but thin. The ones here were about 3m tall, and about 50cm thick at the base, dropping to <20cm at the top.
Somehow, I managed to get a photo without any 4X4 tracks, or upturned mounds, but that was a challenge. Apparently, it is irresistable to drive around in the mud around these, and test your manliness by seeing how big a mound you can knock over. Fortunately, many are still in one piece. And I did see one upturned mound that had started to recover. It looked a bit funny, since the new mound was growing at right angles to the old one.
