You may not believe me if I tell you we were back at Alligator Gorge today but a new location and this is where all the action is. Trails go everywhere here – Hidden Gorge; Alligator Gorge which includes my Day 27 heading; The Blue Gum Trail; Lookouts for them all; and some smaller trails. There was little climbing in the gorge so at the end of the day (the real end!) I paid a brief visit to the lookouts and smaller trails where there were quite steep hills and in the gorge were a “mountain” of rocks.
This track that we’ve spent so much time looking for is the prize track of the ranges to many people although they are so varied there seems to be something special in each one. The Narrows refer to a unique gorge about two two large river gums long and about 3-4 goats (head to tail) wide, and are found after a ten minute walk through one of those huge burnt orange gorges.
Walking along a less stoney than usual creek floor, I noticed the fallen large red gums, lying on each other or leaning on a gorge wall. There was the unusual dripping of water from rock shelves that had created some greenery, and the tiniest set of 4 waterfalls dribbling out a slow tap of water. The Terraces looked like asian terraced farming simulating fairly long and wide steps.
Being Sunday and having lots of varied walks in distance and in scenery, means a variety of hikers, from families – to groups and couples. Most of our information about the walks come from these people, and it is up to date. It’s also a chance to chat a little and have a bit of fun.
Our last day here so after I post this it will be researching for a walk on our way to, or at, our new home.
I try to answer your posts and I definitely answer questions, let me know if I haven’t.
Spectacular! Just as well you returned and found it!

Congratulations Corrie and Will! The photos are stunning and your adventures leave us breathless…I hope the rest of your wanderings go well before you return to our locked down city. Much love from us both
Each photo is taken by an artist and is a painting – stunning colours and shades, subject’s and composition – all reflecting the great Artist’s infinite creativity 🤗The shapes and colours of the rocks, the gorge walls, the variety of it all is wonderful words cannot do justice to such scenes- and you have been in it – there is so much to appreciate in every picture xx thank you
Hello again dear friends.
Wow, you’ve had four weeks of trekking now, and we’ve really enjoyed virtually coming along with you on your journey. I’m amazed at your ability to continually find paths to your destinations. I’ve always marvelled at the incredible skills of indigenous trackers, and reckon you two would be quite accomplished by now at this amazing skill. It seems your bodies have held up really well this month – that’s a real relief. Love from us both.

Bravo Will and Corrie for this new adventure.
You both have the will to do these hikes in conditions that are not always easy. Well done again!
I try to follow Will’s diary, my English is not very good. Today Sunday, I took the time to look at the maps, and took some help with the translation of the diary.
I wish you to continue your great adventure in good conditions.
Next week, I will walk a few days on the GR34, in Finistère South of Brittany, in France, my “little country”.
