Emma Gorge September 18

We stayed in rest stop about 30kms from Emma Gorge so we could get an early start to beat the worst of the heat.

The scenery on the walk in

Emma Gorge is part of the El Questro Wildness Park in the Cockburn Ranges and it is situated on the other side of the park so was not affected by the fire.
There was plenty of parking for the caravan and after buying the permit needed we headed in, the walk is an hour each way with some large uneven parts over boulders. The high cliffs either side make the walking in pretty amazing but you have to remember to stop and look up as you are so busy looking down.

The end pool

Again the photos do not do it justice. The water was rather cool but to the right was an area where hot water flowed and you could sit among the rocks in waist deep water and enjoy the scenery. It was magical !!
We enquired about going into El Questro to camp on the way out back but many things were still closed and the smoke hanging about does not make for pleasant camping. We then decided to drive down towards the Bungle Bungles instead.
It was one of those decisions based on that you can't see everything and even though we do have time we could have had to wait around for a week which was not what we opted for.
