Saturday morning 8am, we set off for the 20klm walk to Lily Ponds above Katherine Gorge. Armed only with water, food and enthusiasm, we headed off into the unknown...half of it was unknown to us.
The weather was perfect, cool breeze and overcast skies
Took us four and a half hours to get there because we kept stopping to photograph
From this sign we still had 2klm to go over what was graded as difficult terrain....piece of cake !
These water holes are where the Lilllies are and it was very pretty
Lots of weird and wonderful things growing on and in the water
Now we start to climb again, by this stage it was getting very hot and muggy.
Grass...i thought it looked pretty.
Nearly there
One more mountain to climb....come on girls you can do it !
View from the top looking up the Gorge towards Smitt Rock
Now the fun part, going down, lots of loose rocks
Mucking around with Anna..Nikon versus Leica
This was our reward
A shower under the waterfall and a swim
and lunch on the rocks, a perfect day with lovely company.
