Onkaparinga gorge

---

We went to Onkaparinga for a very hard walk (4 hours) with lots of very steep climbs and descents (what goes up must come down). It was very dry, but at least there was some water and we heard a lone frog. An amazing place. Must go back. Got very high and looked down into gorge, then very steep down hill. Rock hop for about an hour and then up hill again. We were sore for days after this one!

The family before the big up hill trek
This is us - excited to see water after so many dry walks. We followed this creek and then headed uphill.

Finally we found water
SA was very dry this year and finding water in the creek was quite unusual

The Gorge
I used to live on a farm nearby and left Australia in 1983. I now live in Scotland. Thanks for the photo's they are great to look at. Brings back great memories. Brian
