No whirly-whirls en route to El Questro, but there were a couple of bushfires on the side of the road, including a big one at Emma Gorge, which saw the tourists have to be evacuated there.
El Questro Station which covers an area of 700,000 acres is full of river crossings, hiking, thermal pools, fresh water springs, and of course, grazing cattle. There is so much to do here. Some excursions you can do are by helicopter only, so it gets pretty pricey. Unfortunately the horse riding I was looking forward too didnt happen, as they sent all the horses away at the start of September due to the heat. A lot of places and tours are shutting down now for the season, so it’s definitely time to start heading for the coast.
Zeebedee Springs thermal pool was our highlight here. We had to head straight back there again the next day.
l Questro Gorge hike was a great walk, albeit challenging!! To get to the hike we had to 4 wheel drive through a deep water crossing. Here’s the crossing- Dean checking how to deep it is first before driving across. (It got to about thigh deep level).
