Day 3 - Serpentine Gorge to Counts Point - BIG views

Day 3 began with a gentle stroll in to Serpentine Gorge

 
The five friends: Loretta, Peter, Marie, Mick and Jill

Wildflowers, many and varied and so pretty were a real feature today on the long walk up and up to Counts Point. Have a look at the wildflowers tab at the top of the blog to see more wildflower photos.

We had a long walk along a ridge with views on all sides.



The rippled stone in the foreground below is natural. We saw similar stone several times. It is caused by water flowing over silt on the bottom of the sea which covered the area prior to the orogeny.

We ate lunch under a couple of small stunted trees near the summit and then it was a long rocky walk down to the valley floor to find our new camp for the next three nights.
