View of Circular Pool from the lookout.
Circular pool is usually accessed by climbing down to Fortescue pool, and after a swim, following a marked trail for 2kms along a fairly difficult, often slippery, walk at the base of the gorge
Its incredible how a ghost gum can grow on a cliff face that appears to be all rock. It is startling to see the contrast of the white trunk against the rich red rock
Erosion has left this section of the cliff face in a very precarious state

At last Faye enjoys a swim at circular pool. The pool was quite cold but the young tourists in the background said the water tumbling down over them was warm. We all agreed the surroundings were beautiful
It was too late to walk back the way we had come, so we had to take the steep steps out of the gorge. It was straight up, mostly on roughly formed steps like the ones in the photo. It was so steep at one stage we had to climb a ladder to another level. We made it safely to the top but we were very tired after such a long day. David was good enough to walk the 2kms back to the car whilst Faye waited to be picked up
