After going through the bloody mess of
thigh-deep mud near the lagoon, I walked into it to clean off and get a
drink. The water was cool and oh so delicious. The lagoon
had some strange features, such as that weird grouping of plants
growing in the middle. See the
panoramic photo for some others..
Take
a look at how steep the valley walls are in the distance yet somehow
they are covered in trees. Well, at least in most places, there
is that slip just over my shoulder. That is quite possibly a tree
slide and not a rock slide. The trees are living on a thin layer
of soil covering the rock and sometimes that layer and the trees will
slide down the rock and gather in a heap at the bottom. Sometimes
these tree falls are hundreds of meters tall. I had no idea the
valley had such steep valley walls as the surrounding bush is so thick
in all directions that you really can't see very far. The track
follows the left side of the valley through the very thick brush.
