Emma Gorge Turquoise Pool


Hi everyone, we had a great a great time going down the Gibb River road. It was fun. Elquestro station had a walk called Emma Gorge. The water was really clear nice and pebbly on the bottom and freezing cold. There were waterfalls everywhere like raindrops and you could stand under one. At Zebedee springs the water was really warm and we were catching frogs and saw a big water monitor lizard. We saw big crocs at Home Valley, they had a nice swimming pool. We went for a big walk at Barnett river Gorge and found some Aboriginal artwork. Galvan's gorge was a nice waterfall too and had big fish in the pool which we swam in. We saw a big snake at Bell Gorge and mum and dad saw some people they knew called Kathy Campbell.

We went to Winjana gorge and Tunnel creek. There were 31 freshwater crocs at the gorge. We had to take torches into tunnel creek it was fun. Now we are in Broome and we have been having a great time. We've been to the beach heaps, caught 3 big mud crabs, swimming in the pool and playing with the dogs at Sally and Johns. Now we are back at Gavin and Sarah's playing with Thomas Adam and Harry in their pool. They've got a cool tree house which mum wouldn't let me climb all the way to the top but I did anyway! 10metres high! We are leaving tomorrow to come home to Perth.

By Grace and Emily.
