The imposing sandstone walls of Geikie gorge on the Fitzroy river. A tourist boat on the river provides some scale, and the white markings on the rock face are witness to the huge rises in the river during flood.

Part of the Geikie Gorge, Fitzroy river, Western Australia

The scale of this gorge is amazing. The river in flood fills the gorge from side to side; the white high-water mark clearly visible on the gorge wall.

$A very wide panorama of a river plain between craggy sandstone gorge walls, seen from the top of the rock wall forming one side of a gorge. The other side of the gorge, which is another high rocky wall, is hundreds of metres away, and most of the plain is dry sand, with the river while still large, only a small fraction of the width. The rock walls are 30 to 50 metres high, and the first 15 metres or so is white, from regular erosion, while the remainder above the high-water mark is much darker. The river disappears around a bend in both directions.$

There seems to be some concern that the rowing events in an upcoming Olympic Games in Queensland is to be held in a river that is home to 500 crocodiles. As an Australian, I don't see the problem. It's only 500. The competitors might only see one or two 😀
