Day 17 - Cania Gorge

After a good night’s sleep I had breakfast and then drove off to the Picnic Area from where all the walks start. The previous day when I was checking in I said I wanted to walk. The lady at the desk took a look at my obvious antiquity and told me to go to Dripping Rock and the Overhang. This is described as “a pleasant, easy walk.”

I started off to do as she recommended but then branched off and added in Dragon Cave, Bloodwood Cave and the Gorge Lookout before getting back on track. It was all very picturesque and pleasant walking. The Gorge Lookout was a bit steep, but to a conqueror of the Boolimba Bluff in Carnarvon it was not insurmountable! Dripping Rock and the Overhang were good to see as well.

I got back to my cabin and decided that coffee was called for and I had an uninvited but not unwelcome guest.

After a lazy afternoon I had my dinner, which was a monstrous steak – it didn’t look that big in the supermarket – watched a bit of television, which convinced me that Foxtel is better than free to air, then went to bed.
