• Windjana Gorge

    Wow. I thought Windjana Gorge would be beautiful but I couldn't have imagined just how beautiful.
    We arrived at Windjana Gorge in time to have some lunch, before our walk through the gorge. In front of the huge vertical side of the gorge we're pretty grasses and trees, including baob. Once inside the gorge we were greeted by the huge red rock on both sides, with water birds and white cockatoos in the trees. Fossils, caves and holes could be found in the rock face. And at the end of the walk was a beachy area where a little freshwater crocodile was sat partly submerged and soaking up the last of the day's sun.
    We sat and had a snack whilst watching the croc and saw a tiny wallaby of some sort on the opposite bank.
    On the walk home both the girls fell asleep (Rosie in the rucksack carrier).
    Chicken curry for dinner, although burnt rice meant noodles went in instead.
    Couldn't have asked for a better start to our trip on the Gibb.
