Day 30 Arcadia Valley Escape to Carnarvon Gorge 7320kms
Turned left out of the Sunnyholt driveway and headed up to a lookout on a bluff overlooking Arcadia Valley. An amazing view which can’t be reproduced by camera - the escarpment fell away to the tree topped Valley below and reached out to gorges and mysterious tabletop mountains of all sizes in the distance.
The drive to Carnarvon Gorge took us past fields of Brahman cattle grazing by the roadside and ended up at the Gorge information Centre. There are lots of different palms in the gorge and we were lucky enough to see the coral flowered batwing tree and some indigenous paintings of hand shadows in a large overhang cave.
Takaraka campsite gave us a platypus in the stream behind the tents. It’s a busy campsite with small plots. We caught up on laundry and took it easy.
