The long drive to Porcupine Gorge was interesting, despite the flat terrain, which gave a wonderful vista of the vast sky and clouds. We appreciated the red earth dotted with shades of green trees and bushes. Occasionally we needed to slow down for wandering cattle, water crossings and passing road trains.
Our site in the national park was drive – through and spacious, with plenty of sunshine to charge our batteries.
Early morning rim walk with a view of the gorge and the multi-colored sandstone monolith called the Pyramid. Breathtaking!
The walk down to the gorge and back up took just over two hours and well worth it. The swim was refreshing but the walk back up in the midday sun was challenging.
