Spent the morning packing up our tents (now we realise why we are in a van). Checked out the Pentecost River we are camped along, v pretty.
Drove to Chamberlain Gorge where you could see the main homestead perched up on the top of the cliff. There are so many activities in here. If money (and time) were no object you could easily spend a week or more doing things such as scenic flights, heli-fishing, cruises, gorge tours and walks, etc.
A reliable source has told us that Zebedee Hot Springs are the BEST so we check them out. They are awesome! Thermal rock pools cascading down the rocks, surrounded by palms and sheer cliff face. Each pool got progressively warmer as you scrambled up the rocks, magic!
Samuel and Mark decided to scramble even further and headed about 30m further up the rocks, just up and over a big boulder was one more pool, luckily Samuel waited a split second til Mark caught up to hop in as there was a big python all curled up in there! Estimates have it at approx 3m long, the thickness of your forearm. It was a pretty quick trip back down the rocks I think!
Sounds so fantastic.... Soak up every minute!
ReplyDeleteWe'd prefer to see you all come home intact though - please keep away from 3m long pythons, dingos, crocs and anything else that thinks you're tasty....
Miss you all! The Madagascar date has been discussed a few times :)
All of us Alabaster's xx
