We were feeling fairly lazy and by the time we got down to the gorge to collect our canoe it was mid-morning. We hadn't realised that all of the best gear would be allocated to those who came first (pretty obvious really) so we got horrible life jackets and a canoe with broken back supports. Very disappointing.
We managed to paddle most of the first two gorges before we decided we had endured enough, and because there was no rush, let the current do most of the work to carry us back home.
It was still quite hot although we managed to shade hop up the sides of the river / gorge. The top temperature here today was 29 degrees C or 84 F, the first time it had been below 30 for some months ( probably since we left South Austealia).
On the way back to the campground we spied a bower bird "nest" (bower) and a few agile wallabies.
We also took the short hike to the lookout.
Last time Georgi was here, there were no facilities and just a gravel access track to the river. Some people that were visiting left saying "We've
Croc trap
Just in case there is a big one lurking......had the gorge all to ourselves so we'd like to leave it all for you to enjoy".
It's a lot different now - a huge visitor information cum booking centre and cafe and large campground including motel style units. I think it might have lost some of its previous magic.
