Two great activities today. First we went for the full Winjana Gorge walk which was excellent. It has world significance as a Devonian Reef, rising from the floor of an ancient ocean 380 million years ago (the Age of the Fishes).The gorge was then eroded through the exposed reef. Many freshwater crocodiles were lounging about on the banks. Second, we swam (!!) through Tunnel Creek in Tunnel Cave, about 35kms south of Winjana Gorge. It was awesome and a real life experience. We had to wade along the creek in the cave and swim once, wearing head torches as it was often pitch black! At least they reflected the eyes of the crocodiles in the shallows at the sides! We saw aboriginal rock art out the other end. [The cave photos are of my iPhone screen, because I didn't want to risk the Samsung phone getting wet (as it has a cracked screen)]. We finished off with a short walk back into the Gorge for sunset viewing (and a selfie!).
