One of the many beautiful wildflowers on our walk
Chamberlaine Gorge
"We have these springs all to ourselves....no wonder we are happy!
Champagne Springs Gorge
Champagne Springs
Day 114
We start today’s walk to Champagne Springs and although not the dramatic typical gorge walk we have become used to it was spectacular and the swim at the end was a series of small waterfalls in a large open gorge where we enjoyed yet another swim. It was a long hot walk back to the car and with a total of 9.6km we were glad we had started early in the day. We had lunch at the town cafe before heading back to Zebedee Springs about 2pm........ Now those of you who are on the ball will realise that I had said earlier that the springs are only open to the public between 6 and 12md but I am going to let you in on a little secret......but you must promise not to tell!!!!! We found out that if you are very discreet and wait till after the tour buses have visited the springs then there is no one there at about 2pm!!!! J We had the most wonderful time just relaxing with no one around!!!! JJ We had to vacate when our fingers started shrivelling up but was worth all the crinkly skin. SSSSHHHHHHH.............. We took a little drive to a couple of other gorges but failing light forced us back to our lovely little camp and wonderful camp fire to end 3 incredible days and nights at this delightful resort. We arrived back to the sight of a lovely little freshwater croc on the bank across from us.....just in case we were contemplating a little dip!!
