    Home Valley Walks

    21 août, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    We slept in this morning until around 7am. I was feeling quite lethargic and it took a while to get going. We ate chia seeds and yoghurt for breakfast and had two coffees before we were ready for our walk. We headed to the start of the hiking trail and it was already after 9am and over 30 degrees!

    We started along Bindoola Gorge Trail which was a short and flat walk to a beautiful water pool. There were signs everywhere advising of crocodiles and no swimming. We sat in the shade of the gorge and tried to look for crocodiles but couldn’t see any. We continued on and started walking to My Baldy. As we started up the hill a big Willy Willy came up the hill. The noise was like a tractor and the wind from the little dust storm was very strong.

    We walked to the top of Mt Baldy and spotted many lizards on the way. At the top there were beautiful views of Cockburn Range - unfortunately due to the smoke the view wasn’t as clear as it could be.

    We walked back down and headed towards Bindoola Gorge Lookout Trail where we had views into the gorge and of the water pools. We stopped for lunch under a tree before walking back down the track and towards the homestead. We arrived back after 1pm and were very hot and exhausted. We spent the afternoon relaxing by the pool.

    For sunset we walked up Cockburn Lookout Trail which was a short 800m track up a slight hill. We arrived at 4:50pm and had a great view of the ranges. We watched as the escarpment glowed as the sun set. After sun set we headed back to the accommodation where we prepared dinner and fell asleep.    En savoir plus

    Pentecost River & Bindoola Gorge

    22 août, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    We woke up this morning at 6:30am and ate breakfast. We had seen on the trail map at the lodge we could go for a walk at Salmund River. When I googled the walk we couldn’t find any information but there was meant to be a track near the Pentecost River. We headed to the Pentecost and found what potentially used to be the track but it was completely overgrown.

    We drove along the Pentecost River before driving to Nyarli Lagoon which was also quite overgrown and then heading to Bindoola Falls. We walked along the escarpment looking to into the water pools and after walking about 1km up the river we turned around and headed back to the station.

    We had a look at the camping sites along the Pentecost River and met a person who said they had seen a saltwater crocodile and about 12 freshwater crocodiles at night!

    It was already 11:30am and I wanted to go for a walk so we decided to the Wildflower Valley Trail Walk which was a 6km loop walking along a valley floor. The wildflower season is between May and June so there weren’t meant around. Even though it was already 35 degrees there was a cool breeze so it wasn’t too bad! along the walk we also saw some black cockatoos.    En savoir plus

    Sunset at Home Valley

    22 août, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    After our walk we had lunch and spent the afternoon relaxing around the pool. When we had driven to Bindoola Falls we found a really good lookout that we thought would be perfect for sunset.

    We drove there and the intrepid tour was also there. We were still able to set up our chairs and watch the sunset while having a drink and a few snacks. Our last Kimberley sunset!

    We headed back to our accommodation after sunset and had risotto and vegetables for dinner before heading off to sleep.    En savoir plus
