Gorgeous Gorges

Kate Here: We went on four diffrent walks in gorges. The first one was called the Hamersley Gorge in the Karijini. It looked just like a normal pool which was surrounded by high cliffs and a water fall, But if you climbed up the water fall you would find another nice warm pool and up again you would find another pool. Jack, Dad and I went swimming in all the pools. When we got to the top pool you couldn't go any higher. At the end there was a a lovely warm pool, it was quite small but the water that came from the water fall was nearly hot. You could climb up the wall and jump off into the water. Mum felt like swimming so she just took off her clothes and went for a swim. When went back down a group of tourists came up and mum had to change very quickly. Second one was called The Spiders Walk. It was actually a gorge and you had to walk and sometimes swim through the water. On the last bit you had to wedge your legs up against the wall and if you want your hands and move along the wall. At the end of that was a pool called Kermits Pool. It was cold and fun. You could jump in and dive. It lead to another pool but it was too steep and slimy to go down. We swam in Kermits pool and slid down the mini water fall. The third was called Hand rail pool. You had to hold on to a hand rail and walk down a steep water fall then you would crall down a rope. If you wanted to you could swim to a gorge and then swim along another gorge. We camped in the national park for a little while. On the first night Jack and I were Watching a bug crawl out of its old skin out side with a torch. (Mum and dad were inside) Then we heard a crack like someone or something stepping on a stick. Jack was holding the torch and he turned it towards the noise and there standing in the trees was a DINGO!!!! We were both standing on chairs and Jack Jumped to the chair next to him and I very woseyly Screamed and ran inside. The Fourth walk was called Circular Pool . You had to walk through another very wide gorge to get to it. When we got there were already some people there. The water was cold and deep. And on the other side was lots of little water falls. The water falls were almost bath tempeter. It was lovely . But since the pool water was cold and you were hot you didn't feel like swimming back you felt like walking back but you couln't. It was very nice to walk in gorges. In the sun and a nice warm pool waiting for you at the end. Bye for now!
