Tom Price
is a town outside Karrijini National Park where we stayed. Our first visit
included a different walk to what we have been used to. We started off strolling
through the park, walking through water waist high. Continued onto the Spider
Walk, where we walked through a narrow gorge over slippery rocks holding onto
both sides of the gorge. The next section was called the Handrail, here we held
onto a handrail and carefully walked down the rail. It was like a fireman’s
poll, but you climbed slow and steady. At the end was the pool, unfortunately in a
very long time we had to endure a 23 degree cool day. The weather the following
days picked up so we were happy again.
We had a visit from a relative of Marc’s come over for dinner, Vince works in the mines. It was
lovely to see a familiar face, we were able to catch up and have an enjoyable
night.
Back to
Karrijini, this time to the Circular Pool, the next couple of walks was not
long but were steep, walking down to the bottom of the gorge. We did not swim here for
there were leeches in the water. Back for lunch and onto our walk to Fortescue
Falls, it was a large pool with a waterfall and a natural seating area around
the pool, due to the rock formation. Here we were able to swim and enjoy the
environment over lunch.
