Saturday 24th June

An early start from Timber Creek got us to Limestone Gorge in time for a morning walk to see the Calcite Falls (see picture). There is NO water coming down the falls. It has been discoloured by calcium carbonate which leeches out due to water turbulence. Ask your science teacher. We met the Ranger at Bullita Homestead, and then headed off on a 4WD adventure. The track was quite very rough with an average speed of 10-15km/h. The Humbert River was an interesting crossing with the rocky bottom at an angle and steep holes close to the track. At least the rocks were visible, we are not sure how anyone does it when it's flowing.
