We had an early walk to the falls near the river pool after breakfast and pack up. The waterfall wasn’t hugely impressive but the setting made the picture beautiful. The smooth red of the sandstone and quiet waters of the pool together in the morning light were lovely. We found a very deep whirl holeContinue reading “6/7/21 King Edward Crossing to Barnett River Gorge.”

5/7/21. Mitchell Falls to King Edward River
I had an early start -walking back in to Little Mertens Falls to try to see the black grasswren, but without any joy. I returned to find Trevor cooking my breakfast of bacon and eggs! We packed up at a relaxed pace and left the campground at 9am. We had stuck with the plan toContinue reading “5/7/21. Mitchell Falls to King Edward River”
4/7 Mitchell Falls
We started our day with the helicopter ride. We were able to get a “ bargain price” due to the fact that there were 5 of us that wanted to go. We had 18 minutes of joy as we zipped over the famous falls and the surrounding areas. I loved the ride despite the factContinue reading “4/7 Mitchell Falls”
29th June 2021-Zebedee Springs,ElQuestro Gorge and Jackeroo Waterhole
Zebedee Springs was our first stop for the day. The others were out of bed and on their way before us. We found them out there. Colwells had already finished their soak in the lovely warm pools. Al and Zita were still luxuriating, moving from small rock pool to small waterfall for a massage andContinue reading “29th June 2021-Zebedee Springs,ElQuestro Gorge and Jackeroo Waterhole”
26/6/21 Rum, views, bowerbirds and a fond farewell
The days start early in the caravan park the sun is getting up,and so are the travellers, who have places to be. The couple beside us wanted to be at El Questro (100 km away) so of course they had to be up making a lot of noise by 5:45. Hence we were also wideContinue reading “26/6/21 Rum, views, bowerbirds and a fond farewell”
25/6/21 Out of the Bungles
Before we left there were just a couple more things we needed to do, so after the pack up we walked off from our campground on the little loop walk that Ev had recommended. We were really glad that we did. It was surprising how much could be seen and learnt from the signs inContinue reading “25/6/21 Out of the Bungles”
24/6/21 Echidna Chasm and Mini Palms
While Al and Zita went out to ride in a helicopter ( after flat battery and jump start) we headed out to Echidna Chasm. Word is you should be here in the middle of the day, but everyone aims for that, so we decided to enjoy less crowd and cooler weather and be there beforeContinue reading “24/6/21 Echidna Chasm and Mini Palms”
23/6/21- Domes at the Bungles
Today we had a very early morning as our neighbours headed out early to see the sunrise. They drove out at 5:20am. They were back again by about 7:30 starting to pack up. It was Craig’s birthday so we had an early gift giving ( once we found the gift and card) before we startedContinue reading “23/6/21- Domes at the Bungles”
Hiltaba day 8 – 30/5/21- Pillars of the Earth
Today we drove a short way from the shearer’s quarters to the start of a nature drive. A Goat feeder was the first item of interest. The goats are fed here for a while and get used to being in the area and can then be rounded up more easily Yellow footed rock wallabies areContinue reading “Hiltaba day 8 – 30/5/21- Pillars of the Earth”
Hiltaba Day 7- 29/5/21- Tree Planting and Rockholes. Barbara Hardy Walk
This day started with some tree planting of local species near the shearer’s quarters. Fifty one trees were planted into the prepared holes. Thanks to Kathryn for much of the hole digging. Most of the group headed out to do the Barbara Hardy walk. Although the walk is only 6 km in length, it involvesContinue reading “Hiltaba Day 7- 29/5/21- Tree Planting and Rockholes.
