Kalbarri Gorge

From our campsite to home is a familiar route as we drove it on the last trip.  Therefore I won't write much about the drive except to mention we detoured to Kalbarri Gorge.  It was the first time Carlin had seen the gorge.

Arthropod tracks found around the gorge suggests they once lived here.

Although now extinct Arthropods roamed the earth for nearly 200 million years.  The largest of the more than 250 species reached lengths of 2.5 metres and were carnivorous.

Reputedly better than the one at the Bungle Bungles

Time for one final look and then we headed for Perth.

I wouldn't want to meet one of those carnivouis creatures out on the prowl.
