Kimberley Trip continued

Saturday, May 21, 2011


Today we drove to the Prison Boab Tree, a huge tree that was hollow inside, and used to hold prisoners overnight while transporting them across the country.  From there we drove to some caves to see the rock art paintings, then stopped at this lily pad pond.

From there we drove back into Wyndham, then on to 5 rivers lookout, through the port, and then on to El Questro.  We hiked to the waterfall at the end of Emma Gorge, and it was very rocky.  A few people dropped out along the way, and there were some minor injuries.  But the hike was beautiful, and several people swam at the waterfall pool at the end.

At the end of the hike we stopped into the pub for a $10 beer, but it was worth it because it was sooooo hot!  For the next 2 nights we have another upgrade, which turned out to be a really nice room, with a shower and everything!  Definitely worth it after today's hike.
