Wed 18/7.
Day
sightseeing in the gorges. Start at the Karijini Visitors’ Centre – interesting
& impressive building built out of iron. On to Dales Gorge & descend to
the bottom & make our way to Circular Pool. Beautiful spot! We then made
our way along the gorge floor back to Fortescue Falls – took about 1 1/2
hrs. Wonderful scenery & good walk. Have lunch sitting at the falls
& then go to fern pool – only a few minutes easy walk away. Mark goes for a
dip. Very pretty spot. Back to campsite in time for a quick walk to check out
Joffre Falls that is only a short walk from the caravan. We try out the
restaurant for tea. Pretty good considering the remoteness of the place. Mark
& I share a tasting plate of kangaroo fillet & emu & crocodile
sausages. Mike has kangaroo while the other 3 are not very adventurous only
having a burger,scotch fillet & pasta.
Thur 19/7.
Mark &
Leonie leave for home this morning. We walk down to Joffre Falls. Graeme &
Mike decide to go to the bottom of the gorge while Sue & I take the easy
way & just walk over the falls to the viewing platform. Very picturesque
& good watching the guys at the bottom who both decide to go for a quick
dip. Great walk especially as it is so close to the campsite! Have lunch &
a siesta before going to Knox Lookout. The walk looked a bit trickier so
decided to just enjoy the view from the lookout.
Fri 20/7.
Decide to go
down Kalamina Gorge this morning. Not as deep or steep as the other gorges but
just as pretty & a great couple of hours walk along the bottom. Back to see
the falls at the start – another pretty spot! After lunch & siesta decide
to brave the cold water & give Weano Gorge another go & try to get to
Handrail Pool. Better prepared in bathers we wade thru waist deep water &
make it to the pool. Sue & I just stop at the handrail while the boys go past
the handrail into the pool area. What a stunning way to finish our visit to
Karijini!
