Went up to Weeli Wolli today. It was about a 60k trip from Newman, but so worth the trouble. We took the corrugated roads out to the river, and ended up spending a couple of hours out there, with only two other groups. The first surprise was that the water flowing over the rocks was warm! Everywhere we’ve been over the last week or so (including the pool at the caravan park) has had absolutely freezing water, but this was actually warm! We all jumped in, and had a bit of a wallow since the water wasn’t hugely deep, then cooked up a bit of a barbie for lunch.
We had a bit of an explore down river after lunch and another swim, and ended up pretty much following the river down for a couple of k’s. It was all looking pretty similar, so we ended up turning around and heading back on a track that ran parallel to the river bed.
After crossing back over the river, Matt found another place to swim! The boys only this time jumped in, while we sat on the warm rocks in the lovely afternoon sun!
A lovely day. : )
