Rocks, Rocks, Rocks

Its an odd place El Questro. Its hugely popular and people say its one of the best things on the GRR. But I'm not so sure. The private camping on the river is great, but its otherwise very busy and also pretty hard core. We've had the deepest and longest creek crossings in the Prado so far this trip - just about washing over the bonnet! We've had the most arduous walks on rocks, rocks and rocks today, including up El Questro Gorge. At one stage you have to wade (to your chest) across to a huge Boulder and shimmy up it (see photo). There's various other difficult scrambly bits for hours. I conceded defeat when you had to scale a ledge up a waterfall to get to the end pool - my balance and poor old knees just aren't up to it (when if you slip you fall down the falls - see photo). It didn't seem to stop anyone else, including Marian! They make 'em tough in WA! The gorge was otherwise very attractive and huge (see people for scale). Earlier this morning we tried another walk where the trail was too overgrown to continue, so we went up to a lookout on more rocks. The central facilities here are a bit resort like - had Tandoori Chicken Pizza for dinner. This meant we had to navigate back to our camp in the dark and dust, crossing a crocodile infested river at night! As I say, they make 'em tough in WA!
