We got in to the car park and there were a few other cars there. We started the walk along the paperbark shaded banks of a creek/river and before long reached a rock escarpment that some nomads told us was impassable. We took some photos and turned around, headed for a junction in the track which was supposed to go up along the escarpment and then make its way back down to the plunge pool. As we got to the track junction we were met by another family headed back down, who told us that way was no good and the correct way was the way we had just come back from. We did a u turn and got back to the rock escarpment and after a few false starts found a way over. Then we had another escarpment to clamber over before coming out on a sandy beach, bordered by high sandstone cliffs. One group told us they had seen something in the creek that led from this body of water so we opted out of a swim, instead talking to a lovely couple from Darwin. I did climb to the top of a rock column to take some photos of what we couldn't see from ground level.
Does it look like she loves her brother?
You can just make out Clare and the kids on the sand in the shadows.
As we were leaving, people were arriving in their droves and jumping straight in the water. Oh well better to be alive and spewing we didn't get to swim, than being croc lunch.
We headed back to the tourist park, hooked up the camper and made our way to Katherine where we stopped at the Low Level Caravan Park to power and stock up before heading west.
