Nitmiluk – Monday

We were up with the sun today so that we could take the Baruwei Walk, it’s too hot for us to be out walking once the day starts to heat up. I think the forecast was for about 32 deg. It was a lovely walk and takes you to a lookout where you can see over the gorge. The scenery is magnificent and photos don’t capture its magnitude. Coming back down the stone blocks and steps was a test for Alex’s knees but we made it down without incident. After we passed the meeting point for the boat trips people coming towards us were anxious to know that they were on the right track.

After our walk we were ready for a swim in the refreshing pool. After not swimming for so many years we seem to be making up for it now.
