Day 5. Mitchell Falls – WA 9th July

We had a very big day today. We drove into the Mitchell Falls National Park which was a long slow drive, stopping to see some very interesting rock art along the way. It is believed that this artwork (which was similar to a lot of other work we have already seen) is not painted by aboriginals but from people who were here before them – possibly African. We also found 3 human skulls in a cave.  We drove onto Mitchell Falls and did the 10km walk in past 3 waterfalls. The first was Little Mertens where we went for swim and climbed in behind the waterfall, followed by Big Merterns fell over a very deep canyon, and finally Mitchell Falls which was the most impressive! We had a lovely swim up the top of Mitchell Falls as well.
