LAWN HILL GORGE (Savannah Way 8)

Getting back to my trip from Cairns to Darwin. (see map). 
While we were staying at Adels Grove near Lawn Hill National Park, we were taken for a cruise along the Lawn Hill Gorge.
We set off in a small quiet boat.


  The colourful cliffs towered over us.


 As we came to where the gorge narrowed too much for us to pass, there were many creeks emptying into the gorge.


 Many of the creeks came from underground springs.


After a mesmerising, beautiful meander along the gorge it was time to turn back and go for a hike. (next post).

    Wow, this is so much like a gorge I barged through in the Kimberley Tour done by "Outback Spirit".

    Sure is plenty of water, I gather the "wet season" was just over or you were on
    this boat ride lucky enough to have a fine day.
    Any "Crocs" giving you all a toothy grin??
    Great photography and report on the wonders of FNQ, well done as always.

    Thank you, Diane for your kind comments about us trying to move with health issues. It's rough, and especially with the heat, but we are taking it slow. Love your post!

    I have been told Lawn Hill is a must see … maybe on our winter tour next year … I plan to be retired by then.
