Day 99 – 26th May 2011
Dales Campground, Karijini National Park, WA
It was a cold night but we woke up to a beautiful day. After breakfast we drove to Knox Gorge where we had a steep descent into the gorge but the remainder of the walk was easy compared to yesterday’s walks. An organised tour group was in front of us and at the point where class 6 started and we had to turn back, they continued through the narrow gorge. They were fully equipped with rock climbing and abseiling gear and also some tubes for “swimming” through Red Gorge. It sounded like an exciting tour to do so maybe a little bit disappointed that we didn’t, but we’ll keep it in mind for next time. Or maybe we should get our accreditation and after a chat to the ranger you can do it yourself, as the organized tour is not cheap. Afterwards we drove back to Joffre Falls and walked down this gorge to the waterfall. Next stop was Kalamina Falls, where we had lunch. This gorge is less “dramatic” but still a pretty walk. Dropped into the visitor centre on our way to Dales campground, very busy place as we are back on sealed road so it is easily accessible and a lot of people prefer to camp here.
