Kate: a convoy of cars headed off to the gorge on the station. We'd been told the 10km road in was going to take one hour so we knew the road was going to be rough. ( see pics) After only a few kms, the leading car (a Britz rental) got a flat and it took the next hour and three jacks to change his tyre. (Steve not only impressed me but everyone by taking charge and coordinating the "job". Maybe he has been hiding his hidden practical "fix it" skills ... or maybe this trip is bringing something new out of him.......).
The drive was worthwhile - the gorge, waterfall and huge swimming hole were spectacular. There was even a beach for Maddy to get in and out without us worrying about her "slipping in". There was beautiful rock art and the time just flew too fast as we swam and enjoyed the thunderous sound of the waterfall. Imagine having such a magical spot on your property. An hour and a half to get back to the station because we volunteered to follow the Britz car (a gorgeous Danish couple) back home. They were terrified as they now had no spare tyre!!
Jasper: the water hole was awesome and our blow up body boards helped a lot. Also I found the rock art. It was the best water hole ever!!!!!!! And the drive was insane because the flat tyre took 2 hours to fix but Steve was the hero leading the way ("I'm a natural" he said). While that was happening I went bush finding heeps of animals to put in Emily's bed.
