Geikie Gorge

Well, as they say when in Rome, which is a Gorge out this way, Mick and I decided we should do at least a few touristy things so headed off to Geikie Gorge this morning for the boat tour, it is a beautiful place with magnificent limestone cliffs which are weathered by rain and floods. Some of the erosion would be considered pieces of art if standing inside a building. The water is not suitable for swimming as there are fresh water crocs in plentiful supply.
The flood level can be seen where the rock changes colour, you really have to be inside the gorge to realise the volume of water it carries when in flood.
Imagine this flooded.

Look close can you see the croc?

Beautiful erosion, looks a bit like a luck dragon.
