Watagans

Postby iandsmith » Thu 13 Jan, 2011 10:23 am

For many years I had avoided the Watagans. Problem was, they were too close to my backyard and Barrington Tops were just a bit further away and had more to offer.
I've started to change that and went on an interesting day trip just yesterday. (None of your multi day, how-good-is-this stuff here).
We got caught in the rain at the end and the fungus shot was taken during a downpour. We also had the usual suspects attached to us when we finished, having to pick off about a dozen of them.
We only walked a couple of kilometres but I found the scenery very pleasant and thought one or two of you might be interested in the shots I took at Gap Falls.
Cheers all

This is a stitch job as it's too large to shoot in wide angle even

To Katief: Here are some more shots I took of the falls but the top one in the previous set is the falls also.
I've also added a couple more shots I liked.
Cheers, Ian
