They call this a trail

This was a trail. Oh yes, a narrow set of rocks and a long way down either side. No railing. No steps. Nothing.

Dangerous trail.

Oh this is a trail too. You can tell by the marker at the top with an arrow. Again, slippery, wet rock, no railing. John is a brave man to take me there.

Rainbow at Kalbarri River Gorge

We had a combination day of rain and sun, and all day of wind. But so sweet to see a rainbow.

A tremendous view looking down.

On our way back to the hotel, a lovely, country sunset.

We stayed watching the sunset for awhile.

Western Australia never ceases to take my breath away at its beauty.
