Day 62, Tuesday, March 14, 2006 Ormiston Gorge is a beautiful canyon where today the rains had caused some high water that again required us to wade across at a couple of places. Several of the group went for a swim. Sharron and I decided to swim with the crocodiles at Ellery Creek Big Hole, a picturesque little lake beneath the canyon walls. We didn’t see any crocodiles. I have concluded that a “hole” is any meaningful depression that is more or less permanently filled with water. Wallace Rockhole is an Aborignal Community where we camped for the night. A local guide took us on a short tour and explained some of the background of their history. Finally we experienced what we had been expecting from the start, blue sky from horizon to horizon, not a cloud in the sky, and the intense heat that goes with it. For the third night in a row we had a visitor to our camp, a more ominous huge spider. A brave sole captured it in a tomato tin and dispatched it back into the bush.
