Our disappointment was soon forgotten after we walked up a gorge, past indigenous engravings, and one by the Burke and Wills support team, which ended with this magnificent rock pool.

Was tempted to skinny dip but I think parts could have fallen off in the icy water.
My hips may eventually recover as it was two and a half hours of rock scrambling. I had to be hoiked up into the BRC when we got back to her.
