Ventured further into the park today to Python Pool, Mount Herbert lookout. We also climbed to the top of Mount Herbert and did the hike at Python Pool called the Cameleers Lookout Trail. The road in was terrible...corrugation city 😳 but it was worth it 👌Read more

Millstream
April 23, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
Well today we didn't need to go anywhere in the car.
We walked up to the homestead had a look around and then did a hike around Millstream which lead us through such contrasting landscapes...one minute we were in sub tropical forests with massive palm and pandanis trees then we were in arid landscapes filled with cliff faces leading down to the Fortescue River and grass plains...it was beautiful 😍. Very very hot but the walk ended up at Deep Reach so we went for a swim. This is our second time here the first time I didn't notice all of the giant catfish patrolling the steps into the water 😅Read more

Karijini Pt 3 Mt Bruce
April 27, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Well we ventured just outside the park today to do a 10km return hike up Mt Bruce. I'm sad to say Mt Bruce won this battle 😢 I was just too scared of heights...there was one bit where you had to climb around a chain on a cliff...if you fell yeah game over....disappointed in myself but it just felt too much at the time...beautiful views though and this was towards the end of the climb up so still a decent walk.
Our campsite is Cockatoo site 6...awesome spot 👌Read more

What a day!! Picked up by the shuttle bus at 8 for our sea plane flight for 8.30. Arrived in style in the most beautiful remote gorgeous place ever. We then swam and fed sharks for an hour. Morning tea.Then we did adrenalin pumped rides through the horizontal falls a few times....brilliant!! Then back to the pontoon for lunch of bbq barra and salads. Then back out to the falls again and a look up the river systems before coming back to the pontoon for our scenic flight home.
