* Awake before the sunrise a 6.30 but Damien got up around 8am.
* After breakfast we headed to Knox Gorge (after Joffre Falls on a 7kms unsealed road).
* Did the walk before the lookout to avoid families. We wore shoes this morning and that was a good call, the descent is steep.
* Amazing gorge, really beautiful with a lot of pools, a winding path, a bit of climbing. It finishes the gorge gets really tight like a chasm and I think it is from there that the "adventure tours" do the abseiling and stuff.
* Once back up we had a look at the lookout, could see some of the way but not the end.
* Drove to Joffre Falls. Prepared lunch to take with us: Julienne of veg thanks to Damien's new toy (a Julienne peeler that we have been looking for a long time).
* Started the walk around 12pm. Went down pretty easily (wearing flipflops) and quite fast. Once in the Gorge we went to the waterfall 1st for a swim. Pretty, but more&more in the shade.
* After lunch, we went on the otherside of the gorge that everyone recommended. Quite a long swim, get to an "island", cross it (say hi to a big lizard) and have a look at the other waterfall and the remaining of the gorge that goes deeper and deeper and to finish go all the way back!
* Dried a bit and went back up towards the car as it was too cold in the shade. Got changed and headed to Tom Price for Petrol.
* The only sealed road to Exmouth is taking us on a long detour south... + our chosen night spot is closed so we found another truck area...
