Carnarvon Gorge

After saying goodbye to Koondoo we joined my family out at Carnarvon Gorge, which gave me the opportunity to actually catch up with them as it was so hectic over the party weekend with so many people. We had dinner in the restaurant both nights, but had a far bigger appetite on the second. We all set out walking up the gorge at the same time but shortly split up as we wanted to go further up the gorge than some. Ben, Jacqui and I set out to walk up to the Cathedral (an almost 20km round trip), I fear that I just slowed them both down considerably but I like to take my time and didn’t want to overdo it. I’m really bad with names but we went up into some caverns up to the right with a charming set of waterfalls and ancient and almost extinct king ferns(?). We got back around 4pm and I was very sore (Ben was fine), but it was worth it!

We had a really great week and a bit with family and friends and it came at just the right time in our trip to give us a little time apart, not that we drive each other crazy but it’s nice to talk to someone else for a change. We almost made a scene saying goodbye (love you mum) but we pulled through and departed for Townsville.
