Stephen at Dimond Gorge. After a 4wd drive of 24ks from the camp site you come to the largest gorge on the property. This was the area that was proposed as a dam to supply Perth's water originally in the 50's an again in the 90's. It would have flooded 1000 square k's.
This is the Mighty Fitzroy in the dry season...still having problems getting my head around the amount of water that comes through this area in the wet, the highest recorded peak is 55 metres!!!!
Some boys just never grow up!
The next day we went to the other gorge Sir John... we found yet another staggering example of mother natures forces. Huge slabs of sandstone (you can see this one just under the water). So many photo's it's hard to choose which ones to post.

You guys are doing it in style. Looks fantastic. How was the canoe trip down the Fitzroy? Al & Tan
Hi Tan
Know it's you as Al admitted he did not know how to leave comments!
We did not do the whole canoe thing.. just borrowed someone else's to have a go and realised that my arm would just react to much for a full/half day. Anyway, question.. did you find a way to save your blog to computer or disc...thinking that I really don't want to loose all this hard work.Alison & Stephen
