Today we did
a long but magnificent walk in Carnarvon Gorge. We decided to walk to the farthest
point we intended to visit first and do the other small walks that left the main
track on our return journey. First we visited the Art Gallery, a spectacular
display of Aboriginal art on a sheltered ledge, next the stunningly beautiful
Wards Canyon, the amazing and earie Amphitheatre (a secret oasis hidden inside
a gorge) and finally the Moss Garden, a beautiful place full of ferns with a
waterfall. My fit-bit went into meltdown and by the time we returned back to
the van we have walked over 20 kms and done over 108 flights of stairs. (You
can imagine how Rob loved this!) My biggest issue was that we had to cross
creeks at least 8 times on the way in using stepping stones. Not my favourite
activity but I managed to do all 16 crossings without falling in the water much
to Rob’s disappointment. The walk took most of the day and we’d taken our lunch
with us. We left around 9am and returned to the van at 3pm. Our dinner was a
treat. We had booked in to the Takarkka resort’s roast night and so were
treated to roast lamb and pork, veggies and the trimmings and apple crumble and
custard for dessert.
