29 July 2015 - Windjana Gorge, Tunnel Creek & Bell Gorge

Up bright and early, packed up camp and off to walk through Windjana Gorge.  The freshwater crocodiles were sunning themselves on the waters edge, I managed to get within about 8 meters of a couple and that was as close as I was getting.  We walked for about an hour into the gorge, then turned around and had morning tea half way back under the trees.  On the bus and off to Tunnel Creek, on goes the walking sandals and headlamp and into the tunnel we go.  In some parts of the tunnel the water was knee high deep, mostly sandy with some rocky sections.  Bree spotted three freshwater crocs over to one side that we had to pass, gulp.  It was about 40 minutes to the other end of the Tunnel and some of the group had a swim in the freezing cold waterhole.  Back through the Tunnel and on the road to Bell Gorge to set up camp for the night.  Fire lit and another fantastic dinner thanks to Brad our Chef.
