In the morning, blowing up packrafts

Portaging one of the rapids

Tough work paddling against the current

Scrambling up the boulder blockage near the top of the gorge

Up on top, near the end of the gorge country

Top of the gorge

The river flows into a narrow slot

Scrambling around one of the waterfalls

Exploring up a side creek...

...we find a nice pool, but it looks like hard to work to keep exploring

Katherine River from above

Setting off again below one of the falls

Rachel below another rapid - which we haven't run!

This one is runnable...

...sort of!
