Default Mac Mac Gorge

I took this in December while on holiday in the north east region of S.A. To the left of this is the Mac Mac Falls so called for all the Scotts that had settled in the area in the 1900's



C & C will be appreciated.

Ah, this brings back memories. Thanks.

Got any of Bridal Veil Falls or any of the others from around the God's Window area of the ET? I shot loads on slide film 25 years ago and they've all faded to nothing. Would be good to see them again.

Hey thanks Tom, between a bathroom renovation and a wedding I've been kept a little busy the last few weeks, finished processing the wedding shots, and the bathroom is just about done now, bar a finishing touch or two, so hopefully I'll be around a bit more now.
Gpf I did get a few at Bridal Veil, Horse Shoe and Lone Creek as well as Mac Mac Falls, Mac Mac is challenging these days because the viewing area has been surrounded by a cage so one has to try sick a lens through some holes, the others were flowing so strongly that I had spray on my lenses. I've posted one from Pinnacle Rock a couple of weeks back Pinnacle Rock
This will give you and idea of what the weather was like the whole week so God's window itself was a dead loss.
Kellycat I really appreciate that

Hi Lionello. I'm going to have to wait a few days before seeing the images: I've been summoned to England to help sort out a job that's gone sour and, sadly, the company firewall blocks your images. I should be back home on Wednesday.

Thanks indeed. Really enjoyed those - and I took a peek at Pinnacle Rock, too. Somewhere or other I've got a faded slide of this too.... A karma for the memories. Thanks.
