We commence our trailblazing with a steep walk down to the spring-fed permanent Fortescue Falls and onto Fern Pool which was surrounded by ferns. Although the pool looked very inviting, we continued our walk along the gorge floor before reaching Circular Falls. Our ascent out of the gorge and back to Dales Gorge took us past white snappy gums, shady groves of cypress pines and lots of acacia species.
The afternoon was filled on wih a drive to Joffre and Knox lookouts with Joffre Gorge the more impressive of the two with it's spectacular waterfall forming a natural ampitheatre. We continued onto Oxer & Junction pool Lookouts which provided spectacular views of precipitous cliffs, narrow passages & banded iron rock formations that tower over the valleys far below where the Hancock and Weano gorges unite.
Of course, like all others in Australia, we completed the 2011 Census.
