A quick check of the neighbouring quiet zone (as opposed to the generator zone we were in) revealed some one was moving out from a shady spot so we packed up and moved. Unfortunately this took up a lot of the time in the morning so by the time we headed off for the walks it had started to get quite hot. However it is recommended to do the Echidna Chasm walk in the middle of the day to catch the sun throwing light through the chasm. We were there at the right time and so got some magnificent photos.
Because it was so hot we decided not to do any more walks and just go back to the campsite and relax. We walked up to the top of the hill behind the campsite to watch the sunset and to watch the changing colours on the hills opposite.
Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having a ball. What a shame you could'nt swim at the Grotto waterhole. It's a long hot climb down there and the water was beautiful when we saw it. Keep the photos coming ( Australian Geographic may sign you up !)
How was Diggers Rest ? The road was full of bull dust when we went there. Took video of Archer fish swimming through the water lillies in the water holes near the road on the way out. Will be waiting for your report on the Gibb River Road.
Cheers, Mark.
