Day 35 - Edith Falls

Edith Falls

Day 34 - Monday - 22/6/2026


Today we drove to Edith Falls. It was a short drive and when we got there, we went for a swim in the cold water near the waterfall. It was nothing like the hot springs, the water felt about 15 degrees colder and there was also a lot more space to swim. We saw a few fish big and small like the archer fish; it spits water at bugs when they land on leaves in the water and then eats them.

Day 35 - Tuesday - 23/6/2026

Today we did a short walk to the upper pool of Edith Falls where we went for a swim. On the way we stopped at a lookout and viewed the spectacular falls. The water was a little bit cold but overall, a pretty good temperature. We swam pretty close to the waterfall, but the current was pretty strong, so it was hard to stay still.

Eventually we floated down stream until we came across what we called the chute. When we floated down, it made us go super-fast and at the end we would have to swim to the side to get out of the current.

Then we jumped off some rocks into the deep water a few times. We spent about 2 hours at the waterfall, and it was super fun. Then we swam around a bit more until we started walking back and stopped at a different lookout.

At night we went walking and saw two medium sized owls catching bugs.

Day 65 - Zebedee Springs

  Day 65 - Thursday - 23/7/2026 This morning we drove to Zebedee Springs and walk around in the hot water. There was a start 300m walk to the springs alongside the lush vegetation and huge cliffs. The springs weren’t two big because a bunch of rocks had fallen down into the springs blocking it off.  A small part of Zebedee Springs The crystal-clear water was super warm, and I found my spot in a rock pool where I built a dam and Me and Seb caught a tadpole. Us in Zebedee Springs The tadpole In the afternoon we went on a cruise through Chamberlain Gorge. During the cruise we saw a few Short-eared Rock-wallabies. At the end of the Cruise, we fed the fish in the water and had the Archer Fish spit at us with water when we held the food over the edge.  Feeding the fish On the way back to the car the instructor said the first person to spot a Rock-wallaby wins a bottle of champagne and I was the first person to spot one but since I can't drink champagne, I won a bottle of orange...

Day 4 - Simpsons Gap & Standley Chasm

Image
Day 4 - Saturday - 23/5/2026 - 10AM Today we drove 30 minutes to Simpsons Gap which is a gorge through the Macdonald Ranges which is close to Alice Springs. At about ten we arrived at the gap where we were joined with a park ranger who told us some interesting facts about the area mainly describing the plants and geology. Throughout the walk through the gap, we were on the lookout for the endangered black-footed rock wallabies and near the end we spotted a few jumping around. The gorge was quite large with rugged cliff faces, huge rocks and flowing water from the huge amounts of rain. After that walk we drove another 15 minutes to a place called Standley Chasm where we had lunch at a cafe and then started the walk into the chasm. At the start of the walk, we were walking in a big valley but as we entered the huge chasm we were surrounded with sheer cliffs only about 5 metres apart. After we finished that walk, we went home and did schoolwork. Black-Footed Rock Wallaby Me & Seb sitt...
