We set off early because we knew we had a big hike ahead of us - I didn't expect it to be 23km, but we made it to the end of the gorge and back. Carnarvon is magnificent. The variety of flora and fauna which is mixed in with creeks and towering cliffs is overwhelming. My camera felt completely inadequate to capture what we were hiking through. The kookaburras greeted us with laughter as we stretched our aching muscles the next day.
A boulder had fallen against this tree, so the tree was gradually growing around it.
I kept slipping down this embankment, trying to get a good photo - hence the worried expression.
"Big Bend" is at the far end of the gorge. The little red speck at the bottom is Claire.
There is extensive Aboriginal art throughout the gorge. These paintings are 4500 years old.
