I'm impressed by how good these walk tracks are right out in the middle of Australia! By gee, that water sounded cold! Lovely scenery. 👍❤

In all my travels around the world nothing compares to the hiking in Australia! Mostly the beauty and remoteness. I don't tend to see other people on my hiking trips. Aside from family/friends it was what I missed most when living abroad.

Was the water colder than hugh gorge?

[@GoBushWanderingWild]

Hugh Gorge was a lot colder in the water but warm once we got out on the rocks. It was colder out on the sands of the big hole due to the high winds but the water was warmer
