Porcupine Gorge

About ten years ago we camped here for a few days. We walked down to the Gorge, a hard 1.2km track down some fairly steep ridges. The great view of the Pyramid Rock and checking out the many waterholes was quite worthwhile. At night we were visited by bettong while we sat quietly in the camp with the lights very low.

Fast forward to 2019 and we are here for another visit. The track was steeper than we remembered and due to a late start we did not go right down onto the gorge this time. We did get some great views of Pyramid Rock and saw the waterholes from a couple of hundred meters away.

We turned back to ensure we were not returning in darkness. Back at the camp we lit the artificial fire and made a cuppa. It was getting fairly dark and as we sat a bettong appeared. She had a joey in her pouch so heavy she was hopping a little oddly. Reckon junior will have to find ih own feet soon.Leggi altro
