Karijini NP - Fortesque Falls/Fern Pool

Dales Gorge has re-opened today but we are on the way out, so we see Circular Pool from the lookout. We wander down into the gorge at the other end to Fortesque Falls, lovely spot, you can walk right down the rocks alongside the waterfall. Bit further along is Fern Pool, the water is a bluey/green colour and a good place for a swim, even has a handrail entry. Mark & Samuel take the plunge as they're the only two with bathers on and there are lots of people around!

Have a quick look at the Visitor's Centre and the lady behind the counter happens to be a family friend I haven't seen for a very long time (random)....we have a quick catch up and then she tells me the couple rescued out of the gorge were in fact friends of theirs that had come to visit them!

Drive off to Tom Price for an overnight stay, have booked to do a tour of the iron ore mine in the morning. Next stop Exmouth!
