Nearly never made it to Cape Range. They say that the most dangerous time to be driving in the outback is either sunset or sunrise. I shall now listen to these warnings a bit more after nearly running down a full sized cow, after going sideways to miss it and eventually stopping half in the ditch, only centimeters away. Someone was smiling down on us that evening.

Anyway we did eventally it make it to Cape Range National Park, stopping to buy some snorkel gear and a fishing rod, the only things to do here are swimming and fishing.

Pretty nice scenery though. Turquoise Bay:

Dont know if you can see this properly but this lizard was massive

Like i said, bought a fishing rod expecting to catch everything in the sea although i did catch one fish, i spent the majority of the time staring at the end of the rod. Servane thought it would be funny to write in the sand.

We actually made it all the way this time, bit of a detour but as its supposed to be a main highlight we thought we'd give it a crack.

Dales Gorge itself was pretty awesome though well worth the detour. Apparently the cliffs are thousands of millions of years old and the river that is carving its way through the gorge is unearthing fossils etc. of equal age.

Couldnt do all of Karijini unfortunately as the main gorge way 4wd only and we didnt realy fancy risking it what with everything thats happened.

We did a days worth of walking covering a few kms going to places like Fortesque Falls
