2nd June El Questro

Time to leave El Questro but a couple more gorges to see on the way.
First stop was Zebadee Springs, this one was a very easy short walk through a thick forest of palm trees.
On arriving there was quite a number of pools, all quite small but very clear water, we walked to the top one which was the size of a good size spa, when we got in it was exactly like a spa, the water comes out the rock at approximately 28 degrees.
This area is closed off every day at 12 o'clock, as it is small, they want to limit the impact of people.
Then on to Emma Gorge, this one was another rock hopping strenuous trail but when you finally get to the end of this what a reward.
Once again huge crystal clear swimming hole, this one had a tall waterfall as well.
We jumped in for a swim, it was so cold, we weren't used to that they all have been so warm, when you swam under the waterfall it was like being in a blizzard, it was so cold, then when we swam across to one of the sides the water coming out of the rocks there was very warm, it made a layer of about 6 inches of very warm water on top of the cold.
The whole experience is hard to describe, with the green ferny gully, clean water, that was hot and cold, and the blue sky, we were glad we did this one last and not first otherwise we would have been disappointed with the rest. The one thing that we couldn't fathom, is how do you get such cold water coming from the top of the hill, that is exposed to sun, hot rocks etc.
We headed for Kununarra, booked into Hidden Valley Caravan Park, it is the one we used to live in while we were up here so we knew it was a good one.
