Day 46 Canarvon national park.

Today we went for a walk through the gorge. It had lots of river crossings that we had to cross. It was very fun going through them because we had to try not to get our feet wet. Some places we couldn’t help getting our feet wet. They had stepping stone to go across on, some had water running across them. The walk had lots of little off shoots to go and see things. At one of the river crossings we found some ochre. It is what the Aboriginals use for paint. We made some paint and painted ourselves. We went to what they called the art gallery that had rock painting. We did the other off shoots on the way back. The was the Amphitheater. In the Amphitheater it would echo what you say. Next we went to Wards Canyon. It had a little water fall and a little creek like thing up above the water fall. We next went to the Moss Garden this one had a river crossing to cross, it was hard to tell what rocks were the path to get across so we just went on any rock. In the moss garden there was a water fall. There was water dripping out of the rock wall. The walk was 14ks. After the walk we went to do a nocturnal spot lite tour. We saw lots of greater gliders. We also saw one gliding. We saw one crash because the tour guid accidentally shone the light in its face so it lost its aim and fell. It was ok though. They can be up to one meter. After the tour when we were sitting by the camp fire we saw a little kangaroo type thing that we think is called a potoroo.

  1. Beautiful. You are all going to be super fit from all the walking you have done!!

  2. What wonderful entries full of wonderful “doings’. Carnarvon Gorge is just so beautiful, isn’t it? You must have slept well after your walk there with all the off-shoots. Your photos are special too. We loved them all, especially the one of you, Tess, with the lorikeets and you painting with ochre, Tara.
    Minus 2 sounds a bit chilly after all your warm night in N T but bet it’s snug in the Jayco.
    It will be s-o-o-o good having you home in a week’s time.
    Hope you’re enjoying wherever you are right now. Lol

  3. It all looks & sounds amazing. Thanks for the detailed description Tess. We almost feel like we’re having a holiday too!
    I’m glad the poor old glider is ok. It sounded a bit comical reading about it.
    Looking forward to catching up and hearing all about it.
