These were the most spectacular of all the gorge walks we experienced in the Kimberleys and alone worth the trip. Come walk with us, starting with Piccaninny Creek.
You've got to love this landscape. Do you know of anything similar in other countries?
And look at this spectacular termite mound / column on the cavern walls - below right.
And, below, what look like a couple of cane toads!
Piccaninny Creek closes in and ends in a water hole with view sky-ward. Again, I admire the colouring of the rocks. And below left you can see Aboriginal hand prints on the rock face. And, below right, how's this for a termite mound?
A meeting of the paths. Now let's look at the gorge.
En route to the gorge entrance.
Me, again, at a lookout just before entering the gorge.
An interesting water
carving - left.
This gorge has steep walls and might best be called a canyon. Below, you can us having lunch near the end of the gorge. Dot's the closest of our group.
In most cathedrals people strain their necks upwards admiring the tall structures. It was no different here, but the scale is awesome! Believe it or not the right hand photo shows another group of people having lunch at the base of the wall!
Two views - left and below - looking sky-ward. Impressive, eh!
And, below right, a view of our party beginning to walk out of Cathedral Gorge.
I think you'll agree that it's a thrilling walk ... and we've only just finished the morning. Well, it's now time for an aerial view!
