We were there in 03.

Beautiful spot near a waterhole just back from the gorge. Unfortunately a temperature inversion or something had killed all the fish that were decaying around the banks. This was a very unusual occurrence I think. Looked like a great spot to me. Good walks down thru the gorge & along the river bed & cliffs.

Well worth chasing up on current situation.
