Last day in Karijini

Today we drove for 1hour and a half along a rough road to Hamersly Gorge.  When we arrived, I realised that everything seemed to be on an angle.  The beautiful water from the waterfall seemed to be going up and down the rocks.  The rocks on the side of the track was beautiful, it actually reminded dad and I as a giant Lasagna.  We climbed across the rocks and then came to a small but amazing waterfall.  Every time we passed a spot where the water fell down off the rock a little bit, they seemed to fall into a crystal clear pool.  

We sat there for while staring around at the beautiful surroundings and then climbed back out of the gorge to the car.  Then we drove to another gorge and on the way we saw another dingo and a mother and baby Bustard.  Bustards are quite queer but beautiful birds  At first we mistook the mother for a baby Emu and then realised there was a even smaller one next to it and it was nothing like an Emu except for the way it moves.  Then we did the Handrail Pool trail which was so fun.  The fist thing we did was have to walk through a wide stretch of water that reached up to just before my back.  Then we had to rock climb our way across the wall so we didn't fall into the icy water.  Then we had to hold onto a handrail while going down the waterfall to make sure we didn't slip.  Once we got to the bottom of the waterfall we came to a beautiful pool that was perfectly calm.  We sat there for a while before going back up the slippery waterfall and through the all the water. 

Then we went to another gorge trail called Hancock Gorge.  That one was also fun but a bit more trickier, we had to go through even deeper water and then do a spider walk which is just clinging onto any bit of rock sticking out and make your way above the deep water.  We also had to go through a narrow passage which the water rushes down and try not to slip.  To do that we had to hold onto the sides strongly and also climb above it using our arms and legs like the thing they go on Ninja Warrior.  At the end of there we came to a big drop in the gorge which we looked at behind a safety rope.  It was really pretty with all these pools and waterfalls, it was a bit sad to get out of the gorge because that was the last walk we would be doing in Karijini since we would be leaving tomorrow.  Today Kade and I also became a Karijini Junior Ranger.  We had to complete these activities and do environmental and safe things to get it.  The badge looks like a scout badge with a bird on it and we got to speak with the real rangers as well.
