Dales Gorge, Fortescue Falls and Fern Pool

Arose to a fairly strong wind and it was fairly cool. An airlock has developed in our water tanks blocking any water. We decided as it was cool and we had no water to cut Karijini short and head to Tom Price. We decided to do the Dales Gorge walk to Fortescue Falls and Fern Pool. It was a good walk through the bottom of the gorge. Supposed to be a rating 4 walk but we found it was ok. The views and the countryside is fantastic, especially Fortescue Falls and Fern Pool. Decided not to go swimming is it was quite cool. The climb out from the gorge was a steel boardwalk with 250 steps up and up and up. Buggered by the time we got to the top. Packed up and heading to the Tom Price Caravan park. We booked and ensuite site and had our first decent shower in 4 days. Washed a lot of red dust off. It is everywhere. The bank of the Ranger is not red dust proof. Will spend a day here tomorrow and off to Coral Bay SundayLäs mer
