29 Aug 10 - Bell & Galvan’s Gorges

By Craig: Our walk into Bell Gorge started on the rockiest path of our trip and after a good hike of 2km or so Bell Gorge was a refreshing stop.














The area above the falls was scattered with clear water rock holes and as I found my way to a good location for a couple of photos Sam couldn’t resist a swim above the falls.























A short walk down into the gorge and we were swimming in the cool water.













We were also sharing the area with a resident goanna who by chance had just caught his lunch.










After Bell Gorge we stopped off at the smaller, less popular, Galvan Gorge. It was a quiet, tranquil place with just a trickle flowing over what would be a gushing waterfall during the wet season.









On our short walk in I came across some curious looking fruit from the Pandanus trees. It appeared the parrots liked picking them off and throwing them to the ground.
