...and the sunrise inspiring
...with a swim in the big pool at the base of the falls enticing
...enticing from many angles in fact...
...and from up the top...
...so we had a swim (that is Tess backed by towering cliffs) and a swim to the falls is quite a way...
...but wait, there is more. A short walk takes you to the upper pool area that is like a water fun park...
...with great falls...
...and pools at the top of the falls...
...and more falls and pools at the top of those falls (no one goes here though so worth the easy scramble)...
...to get a different perspective on the rock formations...
...that may have beautiful smoothness and circularity (sorry about the contrast problem here)...
...and plants that have idyllic outlooks like the red sundews here waiting for an unsuspecting insect to wander along the lovely pool...
...and to look down on the 'water park' from a different spot...
...and to find views that others don't look for. This is a falls below the water park...
...looking back up those falls with Tess waiting patiently and taking in the view...
...and the bottom of the falls with a cave in the large rock.
The campsite was pleasant though the dead trees here don't make it look so good...
...but it highlights the contrast in this land between the watered spots near a creek and the unwatered away from the creek as shown graphically here. No transition zone, just wet or dry...
...and the wet supports huge paperbarks, grevilleas, wattles and gums...
...and looks lovely.
