El Questro
We spent 3 nights at
El Questro and 2 full days.
Our days began with an early start each morning with us out on the road before 7am.
We walked the following walks over the 2 days

El Questro Gorge. - Class 4 and 5
Initially only planning to go to the Halfway pool 2.6km return. The walk followed
a rocky creek bed. At the 1/4 way point we had a swim, Peter destroying his iPhone 6 because he put it in his swim shorts pocket.
A right turn in creek lead to larger rocks and we arrived at the Halfway Pool were we had a great swim and rest at a small waterfall
The decision to continue over the boulder to Mac Micking Pool questionable in hindsight, although rewarding and we are very proud we achieved it.
The continuation of the trail became challenging, we climbed over large boulders, loose rocky terrain and were put to an endurance test. At Mac Micking Pool we enjoyed a swim and 20metre fall.
On reevaluating the walk we learnt it was a 6.8km, a difficult Class 5 walk, for those who are experienced a fit walkers.
