Tourquoise pool in Emma Gorge
The eastern end of the Gibb River Road
Emma Gorge pool was verrrry cold!!
Weathered rock patterns
Day 115
We were packed up early and had arranged to meet Wendy and Nick at Emma Gorge and do the walk there before driving to Wyndham. Had a coffee with W and N and as they had done the gorge yesterday, we arranged to see them in Kununurra Tues or Wed. The gorge walk was lovely and the pool at the end was stunning with ferns growing out of the towering gorge walls as the waterfall tumbled in to the pool, however it was the coldest by far of all the waterholes of the past few weeks that we have swum in and Alan decided that he would sit this one out. It was a relatively short and easy walk of 1 and half hours but as it was warming up we were glad to get back to the car. We were surprised though at the number of older people who were just starting the walk after 9am who were really struggling to make it up to the gorge in the heat. We drove to the main Northern Highway ending our trip on the Gibb River Road and onto Bitumin!! We have had a fabulous time on this road and seen some lovely scenery and would recommend it to anyone travelling this part of the country.We arrived in Wyndham and I realised that there was not much that this town had to excite me besides a great sunset lookout so we made the decision to head to Kununurra. Booked in to The Lake Kununurra CP and spent the afternoon catching up on the many emails, phone calls and this Blog. Apologies to all for the delay in updates but we have been out of touch with the WORLD for a couple of weeks. No phones, internet, radio or TV so Alan is reading the Weekend newspaper from front to back. We are booked in here for 3 nights as we have to get the car serviced Wednesday and will decide our plans over the next day or so.
