We have really enjoyed the walks exploring the area. A lot of the walks have big climbs up and down large rock steps. Abigail was our walk leader (there has been much discussion abut pacing ourselves with the slowest walker) to Fern Pool yesterday which is in Dale Gorge. Some of the steps on the track were taller than her legs but she was a real trouper. Once down in the gorge we discovered a whole new world of swampy, heavily rooted trees and ferns growing.
The girls stripped off for swim but the combination of cold water and small black fish meant they didn't end up getting wet. Emily did have fun climbing one of the trees on the gorge floor.
We went and visited Mt Bruce yesterday but didn't do the climb. It is W.A.'s second highest peak but at 1235m was really not that impressive -we made sure we got a Bruce photo.
Today we are heading north toward Port Headland. Josh and Bruce both have head colds and feel a little miserable, so we will take it slowly and see where we end up tonight.
how cool is that tree Emily is climbing!
