Today's destination was Fitzroy Crossing. The intention was to get there and set up and head off to Geikie Gorge, which is a 20 minute drive to the north. Sealed road too which is an unusual bonus. Once there we boarded a boat to cruise the Fitzroy River down the Gorge. This little area is home to freshwater crocs, and assorted birds and fish. This was a very relaxing way to see the gorge in its glory up close and personal. The Fitzroy is big deal up here. In the wet season, it can get up to 8 metres higher than it is in the dry as it is today. You can see the high water mark etched into the walls of the gorge.We are camped up in the camping grounds within the Fitzroy Lodge Van park.
Very cool tonight - probably going to be cool in the morning as well.
