Katherine Gorge

Katherine Gorge

12 September 1985

Walked to Butterfly Gorge from the national park campground with Brian.

Interesting vegetation: Salmon gums, palm trees, tropical fruit trees. Saw Aboriginal art on a rock overhang. Going down to the gorge from the ridge-line turn-off was beautiful. The sun coming through the leaves, black and white butterflies fluttering, birds calling. After the stated 7 kms (seemed less) we arrived at the water’s edge. Met up with the two Swiss guys and we jumped off the cliff & swam down the gorge a few bends before coming back for lunch.
