In the morning, did some schoolwork, then tried out the walk near camp to Circular pool, Fortescue Falls, and the pool at the end. The walk into the gorge was lovely. The falls were really spectacular.
Left: near the campground. The earth is rich red, greens can really pop brightly and the sky is the deepest blue overhead.
Right on the way into Dales Gorge.
Banded iron.
The path to Circular Pool is like it has been paved out especially, with random wall placements.
The Circular Pool was kind of cold.
Fortescue Falls. I can't imagine a less Aboriginal sounding name. At least this park is now well known only by the name Karijini, and not the Hammersley Ranges National Park. It's overkill to rename everything when it has a name already, mostly since about 40 to 60,000 years ago.
In the pool at the end - Jubura (since renamed Fern Pool and going back to Jubura again.)
On the unfortunate unthinking renaming of everything that should have gone out with Terra Nullius.
Fortescue Falls pool, not sure what the proper name is.
Overlooking the gorge - we took the shortcut out rather than backtracking, and the view was fantastic.
Dales Gorge.
