24th June 2002: Brooking Camp – Winjana Gorge
After packing up we make our way into Fitzroy Crossing for a brief stop for supplies and then drive another 170kms north to Winjana Gorge.
The Winjana Gorge camp is stunning with the gorge walls as a backdrop . Plenty of fresh-water crocodiles – you can practically stand beside them. The gorge walk is around 7km return up the Lenard River, with high, colourful cliffs on both sides. Our our return we find the croc’s are a lot more active with many diving off the rocks, swimming & walking around.
We visit Tunnel Creek which is about 35kms away toward Fitzroy Crossing. As the name suggests it is a creek that flows through a tunnel about 750m long and totally dark in some places inside. The tunnel is broken by an opening about midway. Torches were required; what an adventure!
A bit short… lacking in verbosity too. Did Julie write this one?
