We drove to Galvans Gorge and did the 1 kilometre walk into the gorge from the car park. The walk in was very easy starting on a flat gravel track and ending up skipping over a few rocks. There was another couple of families at the gorge when we arrived, one of which was leaving. We disrobed and quickly entered the cold water and swum over to the waterfall. You could sit under the waterfall and it felt like being in a shower.
When we got out Clare started moaning about a sore ankle and was almost in tears saying she couldn't walk out. I was trying to assist her, when it came good and just in time. SNAKE!
Alyssa and Clare ran again, not learning their lesson from earlier in the trip, it was a yellow/green coloured small snake probably a tree snake or something. Amazing how good Clare's foot was then.
Anyway back into the car and we headed off towards Mornington Wilderness Sanctuary. The road into the sanctuary was a very picturesque drive looking at the range we were driving into. It was in very good nick for the first 40 or so kilometres and the other 40 or so was a little bit rough, with some rocky sections.
We set up camp and did some washing while looking at the different sorts of birds buzzing around Annie's Creek. We spotted a Mistletoe Bird amongst others, a pesky dingoe and a whip snake which was very close to our campsite.
This evening we have been down to the office/bar area for a glass of red and to watch a slide show on the work the AWC are doing up here, it was very interesting.
