That was the second time I have been there. Both times have been as part of a longer road trip. Both times I very definitely did not have the place to myself.

I would still would like to spend more time there. Just camp, relax and walk for 5 days or so.

Many precious memories from a week camping.
Larry it's worth a long stay and scouting around the gorges and up onto the top if fit enough.
The aboriginal artwork on the rocks were mind blowing. I got to know the ranger who enlightened me. Probably not allowed these days.
I should scan my slides

Richard,

That is exactly what the lady at the Takarakka Bush Camp reception told me when I only checked in for a couple of nights. "You should really stay for at least five days to do it justice."

I am suffering from an interstitial lung disease, which puts some sort of a limit onto how fast I can walk. If I get out of breath, I just slow down. ;-)a. On both occasions, I have got as far as the Amphitheatre. On the first visit, I decided that I really needed something a bit wider than the Oly 12-100mm to do it justice. So, on the second visit, I came equipped with an Oly 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO lens as well as the 12-100mm.

Worst road in Australia.

Well, it hasn't received any maintenance for more than 35 years, since the mine was closed. As for the title of "Worst Road in Australia", I have it on good authority that the Old Telegraph Track (OTT) up the Cape York Peninsula can lay some claim to that title.

See here: https://www.capeyorkau​stralia.com/old-telegraph-track.html (external link)

I am playing with the idea of doing the Cape York Peninsula within the next year, but I'll take the bypass route and give the OTT a miss.
