A few miscellaneous shots from areas around the Kennedy Range campsite camp site and from the nearby Temple Gorge. And by the way, if your knees give you problems while climbing I have come a huge believer in using a stick. Mine has an inner spring and is adjustable. It made the impossible a breeze…

Weird stone (Inner circle about a handspan across)
All the walking trails are marked by those coloured circles…

Ok, so I do know I am in L.A. at the moment, but I haven’t finished posting pix of our West Australian trip into the Gasgoyne division.These are taken in Honeycomb Gorge, one of the many gorges accessible around the Kennedy Ranges.

The waterfall you can see has water only when it rains…
All these are of natural formations, made by wind and rain and water over millenia
To give an idea of size–there’s me standing at the base, in the middle.
Close up
Husband and …hieroglyphics?
This was one of the weird formations — about 40cm across.

More of the red country. You are probably getting sick of these pix!
The rocks glow in the dawnlight…
And below is a photo of the rocks u nderfoot at the viewpoint. 
Obviously some old Roman paving, right?Or the remains of a Greek temple?
Actually, all natural, made by heat and cold and water.

 The Escarpment was directly behind the caravan park (see the previous post — the shot with my telescope and tripod.) On our first full day we set off to climb it. Three of us. Our combined age is 212 years. The secret is the walking stick climbing pole. Works wonder for ageing knees.

Near the beginning of the climb
Further up the gully. The blue circles marked the “path”
Still further up…
Our caravan park from the top
The adjacent Draper’s Gorge from the top
Another view from the top
And the top was flat….
