Day 145

Drove to Cooinda and find a site in the very crowded and dusty campground. We book for a Yellow Waters Cruise for the next morning and after lunch we drive to Twin Falls and Jim Jim Falls. It is about 70km each way and quite a rough road for the last 10km. We get to Twin falls and they run a shuttle boat service at regular intervals throughout the day which takes you part of the way to the falls with another 500metres to walk to the end. There isn’t much water running over the cliffs but it is a nice walk. We are warned yet again that we shouldn’t swim in the pools although they look inviting. Alan and I decide to go to Jim Jim falls and although no water at all running over those falls we enjoy the walk about 1.5km and manage a quick swim to cool off before the long drive back to Cooinda. It is getting dark as we drive back and takes lots of concentration on the rough gravel road. We are happy to get back to the CP and a nice cold beer.
