Roe River and Garimbu Creek

Day 4

Cascades leading into the next gorge

After descending the gorge for a bit, we climb out and re-enter further down via a side creek

Flower or stingray?

Various figures including a long necked turtle on the roof

These figures aren't quite as sophisticated!

When we get back from our explore, we find that Ro has broken her wrist and the PLB has been set off - and a chopper arrives not long after

Dessert is damper - cook your own!

Day 5

The next two days are expected to be the roughest - heading cross country to get to Garimbu Creek

Snake?

Some kind of plant?

Lovely pool and rainforest gorge at the junction, but it's been slow going to get here

After nearly giving up and camping at a scungy sandy pool, only 100m downstream we find rock slabs and clear flowing water! Heaven!

This one's a complete mystery!

Day 6

It's only 5km to Garimbu Falls, but it proves to be pretty tough, and a variety of terrain - slow going through spinifex...

Easy walking through burnt country...

Even slower going over rock outcrops with spinifex in between...

Even deeper spinifex!

Finally we break out into flat grassy country near the falls

Heading down the creek to the falls

Phew, our food bags are still there ... and mostly intact (a few nibbles)

It looks like Mike and Melissah are putting on some kind of a show!
