31/7 Kalamina gorge

We had a much quieter and lazier day today. We once more drove the corrugated dirt road to the west, but not for so long. We stopped at Kalamina Gorge, where we spent a relaxed and enjoyable time.

After the rocky climb down into the gorge we first turned to the right and, after a bit of rock climbing,

Trevor is about to turn the corner into the waterfall.

arrived near a small waterfall. Retracing our steps and then continuing in we found beautiful still water and rock or many colours and shapes. It was a beautiful walk of discovery which ended by the Rock Arch pool,where you can look up above you to the opposite side of the pool and up quite a distance, to the arch above.

I took lots of photos. Here are just a few.

We again met Al and Zita walking in as we were walking out. They recommended the display at the Visitor Centre, which we had mot yet looked at due yo always arriving there just on closing time.

We decided we had had enough gorgeous gorges for the moment, and headed back to the visitors centre, where Trevor paid for a shower which turned out to be cold. Erica had had a full on wash with warm water ( including hair wash) the previous afternoon.

We had visitors ( Ian and Judy?) who were keen to find out about our camper as they are interested in getting something similar.

It came in much cooler, so after dinner it was a relatively quick pow-wow at the Colwell’s shelter to plan the day ahead before we headed off to a much chillier night without much sleep for either of us.

There was a notice up at the information board telling us that the Uniting Church patrol padre was running a service in the campground the next afternoon. By then we would be in a different national park
