Alligator Gorge

---

On Sunday we went on a very long walk (9 km) through Alligator Gorge. It cost $7.00 to park our car. If you go there, you walk down a big staircase to the bottom of the gorge. Turn right and the first place you come to is called the Terraces and the rocks have lots of ripples. The ripples are sand patterns left from the ancient sea bed that once was in the Flinders Ranges. On our way we found some interesting stones. The gorge walls were orange and had lots of layers. Some parts were very slippery as water was flowing along the gorge. We then climbed a hill and walked to Eaglehawk Dam where we saw a big fire water supply and kangaroos. BlueGum Flat was the next landmark. The last part of the walk was called the Narrows. It was narrow there and there was lots of water.

The Narrows
This is near the end of the walk. The gorge is very narrow here. Be careful of the water.
