We piled into the Les and Barb's car (the 'Big Pajero') today to take the trip to Jim Jim Falls. It was only about a 140 km round trip from our campsite at Mardugal. The road had been recently graded so wasn't in too bad condition. The road turned into bush track for the last 10 km before the falls car park. The walk is 1 km into the falls. It was pretty strenuous as it gets closer to the end, it turns into a climb over boulders similar to what we encountered at Emma Gorge in the Kimberley a week or so ago. The walk in took us about an hour and a half whereas, the walk out was about an hour. No falls to report. The only injury sustained was a crack on the front of our little video camera - it doesn't seem to have affected it though. Judy had it in her back pocket when she sat on a rock while negotiating a rough patch of boulders.
The falls were not much more than a trickle but still an awesome sight.
After returning to camp we had a roast lamb dinner cooked in the camp oven. We live it up in the scrub over in these parts. Finished off with custard and fruit salad for dessert and billy tea.
We're all a bit knackered after a big day so turning in shortly.
