Katherine Gorge

It was a long, hot walk, but we made it.

We were off to a rocky start, with Lachlan ( after climbing 187 stairs in the first 900m), deciding he didn’t want to walk anymore 😬. We all nearly ended back at the car, but when we got to the part where we had to turn off and head out to the 2nd and 3rd gorge he had come around to the idea ( with an enticing swim dangled as a carrot).

I am glad we did the walk as the first look out was not that great, but the further we went along the better the views.

We were all hanging for a swim by the time we got to Butterfly Gorge. The sign said no swimming crocodiles 😬, but the lady at the information centre had told us this was the only place to swim on the walk. So we braved it ( there was other people there swimming already) and jumped in the refreshing water.

We dipped all of our clothes in the water in aid of keeping us cooler on the walk back. Only 6kms or so to go! On the way back we decided we needed slushies as a reward and I said we also had to buy dinner as I was not cooking tonight 😂.

On the walk back I asked Lachie if he thought Uncle Shaun would have liked this walk, he said “NO!” And wished they were with us so he could have stayed at the van with Uncle Shaun 😂😂😂. I asked him if he thought Aunty Kat would like this walk and he said “ YES”. 😂😂 he knows them to well.

A total of 15.3kms round trip 😮Læs mere
