Allen and Carolyn lead the way.
Lots of greenery as a result of the recent heavy rains.

View over to Fossil Rock.
The price of progress: Rows of power pylons stretching into the distance.
The magnificent view from the ridge just before dropping down to the Hatta pools.
Carolyn and David enjoying the view.
Looking back from the same place.
The cave where The Monsters live.
Looking over the Hatta pools.
The formations where the rock has been worn away by years of water action.
The white stuff around the edge is calcium salts washed out of the rock. Pity about the graffiti though.
Calcium salts running down the sides of the gully into one of the pools.
Looking down into one of the gulleys at the Hatta pools. Its a loooong way down.
