    Up early and headed into Karijini. There’s three main groups of gorges so we tackled two first up. Weano Gorge was a narrow gorge ending at Handrail pool - a pool completely enclosed by huge cliffs.
    Next was Hancock Gorge - many steps down and some wading through very cool water to a narrow passage (where you can do the spider walk) leading to Kermit’s pool. A very busy gorge but so worth it!
    We went on to Joffre Falls - a good walk around the rim where you can see the top of the waterfall and then descend down into the gorge itself and walk back up to waterfall face. Only a small trickle at this time of year.
    To finish the day we headed to Kalamina Falls. A climb down into the gorge and to the right was a short walk to a lovely small waterfall. To the left was a beautiful walk along the gorge floor, following the water as it trickles along, over small drops and plates of huge rock. There’s some deeper pools along the way to skirt around and a large pool at the end. A very quick swim here as it was v cold and out! My favourite of the day 🤩
    A big day!
