Description:
Journey to the 'centre of the Earth' down this steep, narrow gorge. After climbing down a ladder you wander into the gorge which narrows into a huge chamber and an attractive setting of small rock pools and marbled walls. Feel the highly polished rock on the way down to Kermit's Pool. The spider walk entails navigating your way through a very narrow gorge, approx one metre wide, with hands and feet on either side of the gorge walls as water flows underneath. The reward at the end is a swim at Kermits Pool. Walk on a little further and the gorge opens out again.

Usage Restriction:
No dogs.
