El Q photos 

Three water crossings to get into El Questro Station

Our camp, roughing it for 2 nights. Amenities block not too far away. 


Rock pools suitable for swimming. No crocs here.


This crossing takes 8 - 10 minutes. We opted not to do it. A bit rough for us, especially on our own. There are also crocs in this area. 


Resident of El Q. As you leave the station in the morning, it would come up for a pat, if you stopped.  Otherwise, it was just a flick of the tail. 


This crossing is just outside the station. 


Zebedee Springs


Temperature around 27o to 32o






This is the water crossing to El Q Gorge. About 700mm deep. A snorkel is required on your car. Not for us, either. 


Jackeroo Billabong is suitable for swimming. 


Chamberlain Gorge. A leisurely boat cruise. 




Fish feeding; sooty grunters, catfish, barramundi, and spotted archer fish.




Our dirty car.


Back through more water. Several trips through.




Emma Gorge. The smooth part of the track


A rougher part of the track.  Believe it or not, many people had thongs or soft slip on shoes for this walk. It took us about 45 mins in hiking boots!





Turquoise Pool




The Gorge, even water flowing over the top.   The water was cool!  A thermal spring to the right was warmer.
