Upper Gorge Lookout - Boodjamulla NP

Today was the big walk. Nearly 8 kilometres. (Tap on the path file after the photos to see where we went).

A total of 17,000 steps logged by my Samsung watch. My app says nearly 13 kilometres total for the whole day. I'm gonna believe that because it seems a lot! My legs certainly believe as they are quite tired.

We had breakfast before the sun rose and were on the track as the sunlight spread over the sharply rising hills. The rich reds were a treat to see in the crisp morning.

The track is not too hard with some inclines, rock hopping and steps. The info board reckons the walk is rated for experienced hikers. That's us!

The view at the lookout is spectacular. After steeping in the views for a while, resting a bit and drinking a lot of water, we returned along the creek, up the steps from the falls and back to our camp. We were out for around 5 hours. Of the 4 litres of water we took, only about 500ml was left.Read more
