Looking back up to Mt Chambers - I'd climbed it earlier this morning.
I pencilled this one in for a swim on my return walk.
There was a lot of water (relatively speaking) in Chamber Gorge on this visit.
The gorge is fairly open and easy to walk through.
The scenery gets fairly epic through here.
Chambers Gorge.
This waterhole was probably the best swimming option on the walk, although I gave it a miss today because I wasn't keen to walk back all the way to the ute with muddy feet.
The little black dots on the scree are feral goats.
These indigenous engravings are in a side gorge running north off the main gorge.
Most of the engravings are near a small waterfall.

It was stinking hot by the time I got back naer the ute so I enjoyed a bit of soak before the long dusty drive home.
I didn't have to worry about crowds skinny dipping out here!
Time to head home.
The Dirt.
According to AllTrails I walked about 6 kilometres and climbed about 113 metres on what I'd call an easy walk. Now, while I've called it easy it is all off track with no marking or sign posting - and it is a fairly hostile environment so that needs to be taken into account. You can walk through the main gorge for a fair while however eventually the country starts to flatten out and you'll be walking into the never never - I normally walk 2.5 to 3 kilometres each way and that seems to get the best of the scenery. The indigenous etchings are along a small side gorge just after the informal car park. I used my AllTrails map today.
