They warn of hypothermia through part of the year but it was really lovely when we were there. Not too cold at all - and certainly not warm.

This is beautiful!

I cannot swim but I would love to bath in that water. I do not fear steps I have the habit.

@JudyEv It is so hot where you are, it is surely a pleasure to go inside the water.

I paddled my feet in this pool but later at Hamersley Gorge I bathed in it too.

Yes going down and back so many steps could indeed be a big challenge. I am liking the various Trip posts that you are posting here!

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoy sharing my journey with us. We find steps a challenge now, especially so many.

It is a shame about having so many steps to negotiate on the way back. It takes some of the pleasure out of it. Sorry, Alfredo, I forgot to say good morning. I hope the day/night is going well for you.

How beautiful! We had the same problem in Puerto Rico. Getting down was easy, but climbing up the steep steps in a tropical rain forest was very difficult.

@JudyEv I was winded from the steps and dying of thirst. The humidity got to me. It was a wall of pure moisture.

@DianneN I wouldn't cope with high humidity either. Plain dry heat is bad enough.

If there are a lot of steps then my knee starts to complain and in Karjini there seemed to be a lot of steps wherever you went.

I agree looks wonderful from where you took the picture. Were you able to go down there and go up again. I think going down may be easier than going back up again. I wish l was there too so l can see if l can still do the hike. It is a good physical exercise for anyone there.

@JudyEv Nice that you can still physically do it and enjoy the place. l know my father would not be able to get to trek that trail. l would love to try if l was there right now.

Yes, we climbed down all the steps and walked on to another pool. It was hard work climbing back up but we managed. It was certainly good exercise.

@rsa101 We needed to go this year as we have other commitments next year and by 2022 it might all be too much for us.

There are some falls you can see without having to do a huge climb but some only have water in the winter and then the roads to them are often closed.

@JudyEv i'm a sucker fer a waterfall, e'en if'n such's jest tiny droplets slowly descendin'. do folks send out drones to video such a wonder? 'r 's that e'en not possible durin' winter? i'm a rock hound, too, so this place jest really tugs't my heart :)

@JudyEv honestly, i'd not wish drones to be flyin' willy-nilly o'er sacred places. 'tis jest's bad 's outsiders trespassin'. perhaps those folks'd gotten permission?? if'n not, i hope the peoples take 'em to court. seems that hittin' their pocketbooks 'tis the 'nly way these days to get corrupt folks 'ttention.

That's a spectacular beauty

I do not mind those steps going down to this beautiful gorge but for sure I would be panting climbing up

But all the panting is worth the beauty and experience that it would offer

Most of it is not that deep. Sometimes, in some of the pools, there are deep pockets.
