Glen Helen Gorge

Another beautiful waterhole and another opportunity to swim :).
Clean clear water with an amazing rocky backdrop.
There are a variety of water birds and small freshwater fish in these waterholes and some larger fish as well.
Even though we were not traveling in Summer the heat of the afternoon sun was both comforting and relaxing and made more bearable by liberal amounts of sunscreen.
Flies also congregate around waterholes as they search for every area where they can find moisture hence their love of mouths, noses and ears and fly nets are soooo important.Read more
