Early on the road this morning as we are trying to make a mile as they say. We had a a quick look around Halls Creek, still nothing of interest there, so we kept going. Then we saw the sign for Geikie Gorge, well we hadn’t been there, we have time …. next we knew we were off on a boat cruise through the Gorge. Much better than hiking it.!
I had fun with the camera from the back of the boat while Chris sat back and enjoyed the ride. So many photos, and the cost was reasonable at $35 each. We don’t normally spend money on this type of thing, but so glad we did.
Saw lots of fresh water Crocks around the banks. They have such a hideous smile , i think.
We were on the water for a good hour and travelled the full length of the gorge. There isn’t much bird life around at the moment due to the drought, however we did see some little rainbow birds, but couldn’t get a good photo from the moving boat. Of coarse there is always a shag or two hanging around water.
Underneath the overhanging rocks there are mud nests of little birds, not sure which ones, but must be small
On the road again we crossed the Fitzroy River, which has a new bridge since we were here in 2008. We were for a walk down and had a look at the old crossing as well.
