This morning we were up early to get away reasonably early to do the southern end of the national park.
The road down to Piccaninny is very rough and its around 27 klms from our campground. We stopped at 'Elephant Rock' which is of course a rock formation that looks like 3 elephants. We both did a terrible job of photographing it but we moved on a little further down the road to another photo opportunity and took more photos but to be honest these opportunities are now everywhere.
We started our walk into what they call 'window'. The walk or this entire place is truly the most amazing place we have both been to. If Ulura, The Olgas and Kings Canyon are a 10/10 then this place has to be a 15/10 it really is that spectacular everywhere you look.
The walk into the window winds its way along the gorge, the track is not marked and we had to make our own tracks at times because there was too much water in the gorge. We were wondering if we were in fact on the right track but soon enough a sign presented itself to turn off into the window. Given how beautiful this place is the window was actually a little underwhelming haha it was a tiny hole in the rock and the lookout through it wasn't as nice as we hoped for. But none the less we took some pics and away we went towards the Creek Lookout.
We climbed our way up the lookout and it was in an ideal location overlooking the area. Again us and everyone else that was sitting at the look was in awe of this magnificent place.
Then we headed down to the 'Cathedral' gorge and oh my god, mind blown. We have never seen anything quite like this place. This would have to be the most awe inspiring gorge you can ever imagine. The shear rock walls tower up over 200 mtrs high around most of it yet the other side has this massive overhang that almost covers the hole above leaving this amazing amphitheatre feeling or the largest cathedral you could ever imagine. Photos will never do it justice.
We left thinking we could go home now and be happy. Just kidding we are not even half way!
Next was the domes loop which also had another split rock formation that in fact joined up with the cathedral. No where near as spectacular but all the tourists from a tour group were telling us that this much lesser rock formation was in fact the cathedral and how great it was! We were thinking, i hope they take the time to walk down to the actual cathedral if they thought this little place was nice hahaha
Wwe then walked back to the car, we had drank all our water in our back pack so lucky we both had extra water in the car.
On the way back on the rough the cars suspension was squeaking and groaning so we checked that and just came to the conclusion that the factory suspension is struggling on these rough roads. We may need to look into this further once back in civilisation.
Back at camp we relaxed and cooked a brisket on the weber. Karen had a little nap, we had tea, watched some telly and both fell a sleep quite early as we had covered over 10 klms on foot today.
