It\u2019s almost mid-day when we escape Corrigin. The washings done, we\u2019ve been to the supermarket and filled with fuel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first stop is only 15 kms up the road. We spot the turn to Gorge Rock and it\u2019s only a short distance to the carpark. The information panels indicate the walk is only 20 minutes return, but its takes less than 5 minutes with 10 minutes for taking in the view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The granite monolith that is Gorge Rock acted as a natural catchment which apparently filled with water every season. In 1956 the locals decided to excavate the catchment to form a permanent swimming pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst swimming is now banned, Gorge Rock makes for an interesting walk and the views are amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
