The walking here is slow with a number of small climbs and a substantial amount of rock-hopping. It is so rugged that four km often takes a full day. The gorge is, however, quite pretty and there are a number of pools where we can stop for a swim and/or to look at whatever birds may be in the area.
Another day's walk brings us to a wonderful campsite in a small gorge. The following day we break out of the rugged country and cross back to the Mitchell River watershed, stopping to explore some of the small creeks where we saw the most wildlife on earlier trips.
Eventually, we reach the Mitchell River itself.
