We drove about 10 minutes to the beginning of the walk along El Questro Gorge. It was a two hour return without a swim in the waterhole at the end but we did it in two hours with the swim. It was good because it was through the bottom of the gorge where it was shady and cool. We also got smart and did it at the beginning of the day.
Then we drove straight to the car park of Zebedee Springs, with a five minute walk to the thermal springs, well worth the effort because they were beautiful! We soaked in there for half an hour and then spent yet another afternoon at the van park swimming in the river and relaxing. This seems to be a recurring theme in our current daily schedule. This is, of course because of the heat.
I think everyone’s, at least the children’s favourite part of this park is the river. There is a big old tree with a thick, leaning branch that hangs out over the water. We climb up it and jump from up to 5 metres into the water. There is a sand bar in the middle of the river where the young girls like to play and the water isn’t to deep for them. Even mum has come in for a swim, though we haven’t managed to convince Dad yet. (The wimp!)
Tomorrow we leave early for Emma Gorge, another attraction here, then spend the majority of the day at Wyndham. We will be back at Kununurra by the end of the day.
