Met zonsopgang stonden we op. Ontbijt was trouwens steeds brood of cornflakes. Eerste volledige dag wandelen, klimmen en zwemmen… menens dus. We begonnen met Knox Gorge, klasse 4. Ik herinner me enkel dat ze vermoeiend was. Frisse zwem in de pool was welkom. Velen sprongen ook van een hoge rots, wat eigenlijk niet toegelaten bleek te zijn.
We got up at sunrise. Breakfast btw was always bread or cereals. The first full day of walking, climbing and swimming…. It was going to get serious now. We started with Knox Gorge, level 4. I only remember it was a tiring one. A swim in the pool was welcome. Many jumped from a high rock, what actually appeared to be prohibited.

Daarna gingen we naar het visitor centre. Daar had ik graag wat gekocht, maar er was niets interessants. Grote spin bij de wc’s.
After that we went to the visitor centre. I wanted to buy something, but could not find anything interesting. Large spider at the toilets.

Tussen de rotsen in de gorges leven veel spinnen, maar ik vond het vaak zo gevaarlijk dat ik me angstvallig vastklampte aan de rotsen en dat de spinnen nog het minst van mijn zorgen waren. Op vele plaatsen kon 1 misstap serieuze gevolgen hebben. Weer een ervaring rijker en een grens verlegd. Gelukkig hielpen de meesten uit de groep me op moeilijke plaatsen.
Na het visitor centre hadden we lunch en kwam een dingo ons bezoeken.
Between the rocks there were a lot of spiders, but often I found the climbing so dangerous, I just hold myself tightly to the rocks and spiders were the least of my worries. At many places one bad step could have serious consequences. Again a new experience and expanded a boundary. Luckily most people in the group helped me out at difficult places.

Daarna was het tijd voor Dales Gorge, Circular Pool, Fortescue Falls en Fern Pool, klassen 3 en 4. Viel al bij al mee, maar op sommige plekken was het zeer glad. Nog goldback spiders of zoiets gezien, dodelijk giftig in ieder geval.
Then it was time for Dales Gorge, Cicular pool, Fortescue Falls and Fern Pool, levels 3 and 4. These were ok, but some spots were very slippery. We encountered goldback spiders or something like that, deadly poisonous in any case.

Voor ik me belachelijk maak: de natte plekken zijn van mijn natte bathers en dat vliegennet was echt wel nodig. De vliegen waren zo ongelooflijk agressief. Ze weg jagen had geen zin, want ze bleven terugkomen en waren zot van oren, neus, mond en ogen.
Before I make a fool of myself: the wet spots are from my wet bathers and the fly net was really necessary. The flies were so incredibly aggressive. There was no point in trying to get rid of them, because they kept coming back and were crazy about ears, nose, mouth and eyes.
