Wildflower Valley, Bindoola Gorge, Bindoola Gorge Lookout,
Bindoola Falls and Nyarli Lagoon; Home Valley Station, Cockburn Range Lookout
We walked through
Wildflower Valley and then on to the Bindoola Gorge Lookout. The view from here
was quite picturesque. The countryside
here is quite different in appearance to near El Questro, the dirt is a great
mix of colours, red, white, and dull grey and produces an extremely fine dust;
also the vegetation is an open savannah rather than the denser vegetation. After the lookout, we headed back toward the
Station complex and then veered off into the gorge. The base of the gorge was
very wide and surprisingly sandy. We
then had a lovely swim and lunch. In the
afternoon we drove 16km west to Bindoola Falls, which have a large deep
waterhole at the base. Looking at the
terrain and escarpment the waterfall must only flow briefly but would be
gorgeous. We then had a look at Nyarli
Lagoon, which was very still and reflective.
Quite a peaceful spot. Today has been the coolest day we have had in the
last several weeks – it had a breeze most of the day and although it was very
humid the temperature only got into the low 30’s. https://www.hvstation.com.au/
