ZEBEDEE SPRINGS
The springs flow with warm water... a balmy 32 degrees.
EMMA GORGE
Eel-tailed catfish swim in the shade of surrounding rocks
Algae gives the water a milky appearance.
The water is so still, reflections are like oil paintings.
A passing hiker, a nice old fella, offers to take our photo together.
Water drips from a 65m chasm in the gorge.
This waterfall is spectacular - noisy and cold!
Today my ankles and knees are reminding me i’m not 20 any more, although it is encouraging to see people in their 70s take the difficult hike to Emma Gorge. The water, however, is hypothermic, and your body tells you with some alarm that you’d want to be sure before proceeding. You are rewarded, however, with a thermal spring hidden behind some rocks, which eases your ails.
