After breakfast, we packed our lunch and went on a walk through Dales Gorge. We journeyed down a steep descent into the bottom of the gorge and walked one way along the bottom from one end to the other, along the way we stopped at three swimming holes. The first swimming whole was called Circular Pool. It was rather icy, however did not deter three of us (guess who didn’t go in!?). At Circular Pool there was a small waterfall, the water from that water fall was quite warm, especially compared to the water in the pool. We saw our friend Amelia there again, she seems to pop up everywhere! She walking with us through the rest of the gorge, it was good to see her again! The second swimming hole was Fortescue Falls, where we went yesterday. However, it was only Tess and I who ventured into this pool. There were a few fish that we saw in Fortescue Falls. The third and final swimming hole was Fern Pool. We all went and had a swim at Fern Pool, because the sun was shining on the pool, making it a slightly warmer pool. We walked back along the top of the Gorge. It was a very pleasant walk. I really enjoyed swimming in all of the swimming holes! We had pesto pasta for dinner. It was very nice.

It’s a bit hard to see, but there was quite a thin pillar of rocks holding up a very big wall of rocks!
We were rather intrigued by this tree growing out of rock!
