El Questro
Wading through the very deep water
Mac Micking pool at the end of El Questro Gorge
At Brokeback ........sorry Saddleback mtn. lookoutDay 113
We drove to Saddleback mountain (Al was worried about gay cowboys but I reassured him that was Brokeback mtn.) It was a steep and very narrow rocky 4wd track up to a lovely lookout with 360 degree views of the area. We headed down to Zebedee Springs and were very disappointed to find the car park full and were even more disappointed to find the series of thermal pools full of people. Apparently the springs are only open to the general public between 6am and 12md so we think we will come back early tomorrow. We decide to do El Questro Gorge track and our disappointment of Zebedee disappears as we walk up a most magnificent gorge. It becomes a little difficult halfway up requiring us to take off boots and hold anything not waterproof above our heads to get through the water to reach the boulder climb ahead. The pool at the top was so worth the effort and the swim in the clear warm water was a lovely way to relax before the decent. We met Wendy and Nick for a drink before the Barbq and they told us of their traumatic arvo requiring 2 new tyres on their vehicle at a cost of over $900!! Repairs are not cheap here!! We enjoy the lovely Barbq dinner with barra,lamb,beef cooked to perfection and a couple of Red wines and the repair traumas were put to the back of their minds
