Now that is a gorge!
It was just a quick visit to Karijini but what a special place, which started on the drive inland. The countryside seems to be changing very fast – probably a function of 2 things – we are travelling much greater distances in shorter times now and, of course, we’ve ducked back inland again!
The foreground of dusty spinifex with solitary white trunked gums gives way to vibrant iron red ranges which in the distance shimmer into purples and blues. Truly a dramatic landscape! And of course hidden in the folds of the valleys are the gorges.
Tim has had this running thing of not being quite satisfied with the splendidness of the gorges we have visited. But he was very satisfied with the impressive Karijini gorges. He may have even said in a very admiring voice ‘Now THAT’S what I call a gorge!’
We walked down into or through most of the gorges we could access, and ended up in some very narrow canyons knee deep in icy water. Clambering back out up the steep walls tested our legs which hadn’t had such a workout for months!
