Well on topic yeah nice photos i've always wanted to go visit katherine gorge..

Yeah, a photographer friend has my car while I am gone so it can continue being modified and involved in photoshoots while I am gone. When friends ring me to say they saw the car, I act dumb and pretend I left it in my garage, to stress them out...

Thanks James. The hike to the second Gorge was only 3.5km each way, plus another half a km down into the base of the waterfall. About half of it was loose rocks which slows progress, obviously. It was definitely the heat that was bad, we started at 2 in the afternoon. Still, the first Gorge is only a medium difficultly, later on before I go I might try to make it to Butterfly Falls which is alot harder and about twice the distance.

I'd love to have a sunset out there to photograph but in wet season that means getting absolutely saturated, and it's not safe as there is nowhere sheltered to camp, hiking at night around Gorges is not the safest thing when you are not familiar with them.

Anyways, still planning to attack Butterfly Falls before I go (named because the walls of the canyons are so steep and high the butterfly colonies can't fly out and saturate the area, apparently), so hopefully have more photos later on.

Regards, Tim!
