Karijini - Weano Gorge

We are used to getting up at sunrise and going to bed at sunset by now. While camping I like to use the whole day plus there is not much to do in the dark after sunset. Today we drove over to the other side of Karijini and our first stop was Kalamina Falls. It was again a really magical place and we were the only ones there. These gorges are such a contrast to the surrounding dry dusty res landscape.


We would have love to walk down to Jeoffre Falls but there is just not enough time in a day. So we drove further to Weano George; the lookout where 3 gorges meet. From there Ian and I went down to Hancock Gorge - a level 5 - 6 (with 6 being the highest) walking trail. We came to a point where we left our backpacks and put on our bathers to continue the walk. We manged the 'spider walk' and swam through ice cold water - but it was great!!




At the end of the day we stopped at the visiter center where we could have a shower ;-)




We had dinner at the communal BBQ area at the campsite.
