Walking the rocks

The walks here in Keep River are located in three places. Allthego is going to wander around them while Homealone patiently waits at the start keeping track of the elapsed time.

Keep River walking trails.

Here are a few of the photos from the experience on these walks spread over the three days.

The first is a loop walk that runs from our campground, Goorrandalng Walk (only 2km return).

This loop walk wound its way to the base of a number of bee hive and remnant rock formations and up onto the escarpment overlooking the campground area.
There had been quite a lot of recent burning off along this track. Will be very green along here after the next wet.

The second is Jenemoom Walk (3km return) located about 10km away on the track to the second campground, known as Jarnem Campground.

Homealone guarded the truck.
Plenty of boabs along the creek.
Rock art site overhang at the walks end. This was an area where the indigenous people would have sheltered and lived during the wet.
As well as art the overhang had evidence of other activity including this stone grinding stone.

The last walk is a 6.5 km loop walk from the Jarnem Campground, another 8km along the road from the start of the Jenmoom Walk.

This chap stood beside the track munching grass, Allthego took a wide berth, he gave a nasty ‘growl’. Not sure but I believe the NP is in part a former cattle property. This fellow may be an aging forgotten resident.
Past the bull the track climbed up to this view point over the flood plain.
Down the hill onto the plain again to reach an overhang beneath the bee hives.
The overhang had some emu art on its walls.

Well, Allthego survived the great walks, the great bull and we sort of beat the flys. It was now back on the road to WA and some time recovering in the sun at Lake Argyle.

These two towered over our campground.

Apart from on the first day leaving Brisbane we have had no rain, daytime temps have been in the low 30s with little or no humidity. It’s the ‘dry’ season!
