Some photos of El Questro

Me at El Questro Gorge on the way to the second waterhole..........picture this......before entering the gorge the landscape is dry, harsh, flat and covered in Spinifex and the occassional eucalypt......enter the gorge and be sourrounded by 150metre tall red walls with a constant waterfall supplying fresh clear water to the towering trees (including palms) and ferns.......it is an oasis...........the gorge has two waterholes, the first is easily accessible, with the second and more beautiful waterhole hard to access due to the fitness required to climb over massive boulders and around slippery water falls.....as a result the second water hole is usually enjoyed in solitude.



Emma drying off at Emma Gorge at El Questro Wilderness Park.....Va.Va.Voom....the crystal clear water was freezing and the sun scortching......it didnt take long to take the plunge



The Kluger on one of it's many creek crossings.....we have been very impressed with what this vehicle has done (creek crossings, mud crossings, soft sand driving, beach driving, etc), going all places except the extremely hardcore 4WD places (climbing over large rocks etc)......funny thing is, that when we walk along all of the hardcore 4WD tracks to waterholes, nobody is taking in their $80,000+ landcruisers / Range Rovers for fear of scratches.....with the big 4WDs in the same carpark as the Kluger......you have gotta have a giggle sometimes
