23/7/11 Nitmiluk - Katherine Gorge

Today we spent the afternoon on a boat trip along Katherine Gorge - which has reverted to its aboriginal name, Nitmiluk.  The gorge is cut into section by rock falls which raise the level of the water from one section to the next.  We traversed 3 sections. At the end of each section you get out of the boat, walk a short distance across the rock barrier and get into another boat to travel in the next upstream section.  In the third section there was an opportunity to swim at the base of a small waterfall. Gerd went for a swim but I took pictures.  




The yellowish light of late afternoon is the best time to photograph the colours and water reflections in the gorge.
