More scrubby walking was needed to get into our next canyon. We
arrive shortly after lunch.

Above - Rob and Rik continue down the canyon - a very deep and
impressive gorge
We camp at the end of the canyon and again we see a lot of firefly
bettles at night.
Day 5
We split up on this day. Sarah, Paul and Rob head down a large gorge
while Rik, Su Li and myself head out via a shorter route - but
across a scrubby plateau.
Above - we find a new aboriginal art site. Here you can see the
faint hand print of a child.
