Angorichina Tourist Village was pretty quiet this morning.
After dropping down to the creek we started the long walk upstream - passing by these old stone huts early on.
There was a intermittent pad that we picked up sometimes.
Walking these tilted rocks was fairly slow going.
Approaching the top pool I passed by this un-named waterhole.

The swimming in the Upper Pool was first class.
Away from the waterholes things heated up and dried out very quickly.
I felt like I was being watched...
There's a feral Goat halfway up the rock face.

Heading back down the gorge in the middle of the day was super hot.
Sam had waited for me in the shade here.
We were now heading back towards the ute - looking for a final spot to have a dip along the way.
The closer to Angorichina we got the more sections of track we found.
Blinman Pools Walk.
We probably noticed half a dozen track markers along the length of the walk.
We found one last pool to soak in.
This pool even had a small spa pool.
I didn't take long to dry off on our short walk from the last pool back to the ute.
Perfect swimming weather - a little warm for hiking though!
The Dirt.
According to AllTrails we walked around 12.3 kilometres and climbed about 212 metres on what I'd call a medium grade walk. This walk is a great one for swimming as the two main pools normally have enough water in for a dip. It's not all sweetness and light though, the pools are ice cold in winter and in summer the pools are a nice temperature however the walk in and out can be tough in the heat. At best I'd call this an intermittent pad, the majority of the stroll is a make your own adventure along the creek bed. I used my AllTrails map today..
