We went back there today, after a pretty average week, with the idea of going canoeing. This unfortunately, ended in disappointment as the gorge was closed yesterday to swimmers and canoes as the river has come up enough for salties to get through - BUMMER. Highly dissappointed as last time we were there, we said we would come back to canoe. Oh well, there is always next dry I guess.
We did end up going on a cruise though, and it is such a beautiful gorge. Different from Canarvon and Cania and highly, highly impressive.
It was hard to believe that this place could get any more awesome. One awesome feature I would like to share with you, are these bottle wren birds that only grow to a maximum of 12cm - SO CUTE. They build their nests from the top of a cave out of mud that looks like bottles and dart in and out - they are simply adorable! We were also greeted by a pretty impressive parrot and the end of our tour...
Certainly a beautiful place in God's creation. It was great to see it from the river point of view, but we are definately keen to do the Jatbulla trail, from the Gorge to Edith falls sometime when its not too hot, and to canoe up the gorge, hopefully up all 13 (can you believe we only saw the first two?)
Many blessings to you in your week to come! Hope you have adventures and a heck of a lot of fun!
I suppose it was a bit hard to get a picky of the wrens? Dad says he gets those parrots at work too. Gorgeous!
