Dawn at camp
Section 9
We began today at the extraordinary Ochre Pits.
Ochre for ceremonial and cave painting supplies for centuries.
Making our way through the Pass into the Hidden Valley
Beautifully cool for our rest breaks
Always a few challenges along the way
Views in the Hidden or Alice Valley
Returning through the Pass - lush Mac Donnell cycads line the Pass
This native fig surviving with minimal support.
We ran into a survival marathon - very multicultural competitors
(The only clouds we saw all week!)
Some enthusiastic walkers then took a detail to the failed Serpentine Dam site.
A project by Reg Ansett to create a Chalet Range resort, which never eventuated.
Spinifex pidgeons around Ormiston Gorge camp
A welcome swim at Ormiston Gorge to complete the day.
