Post 36 – Lawn Hill Gorge
Lawn Hill Gorge - Indarri falls
Because the National Park's campsites at Lawn Hill itself were booked out we stayed at Adel's Grove. The Adel's Grove site is physically much nicer than the National Park campground but is also much more populated and is 12km away from the actual Gorge.
This shot is taken from the lookout overlooking the Indarri falls. The falls are almost hidden by the pandanus palms. In the shot is also the electric boat that takes trips up the middle gorge.
Lawn Hill - Canoe
We hired a canoe and had a relaxing paddle up the middle gorge. Apparently in the 2 hour hire period you can carry your canoe around Indarri falls and paddle up the top gorge. We didn't do this
Lower Gorge - Lawn Hill
The end of the gorge system from the top of the stacks.

The water is incredibly clear. This shot tries to capture this. Follow the stems of the small lilly leaves down. See the small Archer fish near the surface, also if you look you can see a fish near the bottom at the right of the shot.
Lawn Hill - Lizard
Came across this small lizard on the walking track to the Indarri falls lookout.

The gorge taken from our boat trip.
The canoe trip was probably just as good or better but on the boat someone else was driving and I had two hands free to use my camera.
Lawn Hill Gorge
The road into the gorge is quite rough and dusty. This is not fog but dust on the road that hung in the air forever in the stillness of the morning.
Sunrise on the way Lawn Hill Gorge
Because the sunrises quite late and I am still waking up at "normal" time I rode my bike from Adel's Grove to Lawn hill. I took this sunrise shot along the way.
This is a fascinating collection of photos. The canoe trip sounds great. Love the ‘hanging dust’ shot also.
