Sun 21 Aug 2011 Karijini National Park to Tom Price

0900 (11919 km) Breakfast of cereal. The kids worked on the Junior Ranger sheet.

Fern Pool



0940 (11934 km) Dales Day Use Car Park. We walked along the top of the Dales Gorge towards Fortescue Falls. We saw lizards along the walk. Then we walked down the steep steps to the falls and further to Fern Pool. There were bats hanging on the trees. Very nice large pool. Water and small waterfalls look very tempting. We could see fish from the platform. As we were walking back from Fern Pool, we came across a Brown Snake! Notice how many animals we have seen already?



At Fortescue Falls



We got back to have some photos of Fortescue Falls. The falls had lots of steps.

Then we snaked along the gorge to Circular Pool. Had to cross the creek several times. When we got to Circular Pool, we found that the pool water was really cold. We only stepped in up to our waist and then back out again. There were some people who were brave enough to jump in.

1300 (11934 km) Lunch of biscuits, cheese, cream corn, cabonossi.

1400 (11934 km) Went to camp check in to show the Camp Hosts the kids Junior Ranger sheets. The kids got badges, stickers and a book on marine animals. Quite impressive.
