Mitchell Plateau

One of the highlights of our trip was visiting the Mitchell Plateau and the Mitchell River Falls. One of the most spectactular falls we have seen. The walk in also takes you to Little Merterns and Merten's falls on the way, along with some Bradshaw painting dated back 30 00 to 40 000 years ago.

Instead of walking back we opted for a helicopter ride. This time Mitch sat in the front. He had a door and see out below his feet. He thought it was great. Ethan, however, was desperate to sit on a seat which had no door. He loved it and conforms our suspicions he is an adrenalin junky.

At the plateau we camped at King Edward River. Just near by we were able to see some Aboriginal Art Sites. Here the art consisted of Bradshaw art, Wandjina (pictured) and a buriel cave. We were very impressed to have access to the buriel cave.
