Bush walking and camping - Thursday 21st

Today we had a short drive to The Karijini National Park and stayed for a night at the Dales Gorge Campground. It was lovely - no electricity, no internet, no lights, no water. This area is famous for its gorges although we could only reach one via the tarmac - the rest are 'off bounds' for hire vehicles. We went for a walk in the gorge which meant scrambling ( Rob's physio look away now!) down the rock face and walking through streams via stepping stones. Finally the gorge bottom was reached via a ladder! It may have been slow and hard but there was much encouragement by the many youngsters who passed us and a great sense of achievement when we reached the bottom! Here we (well Nicola) was rewarded by a swim in the natural pools.
