Can anyone tell me if they've been to the 3 gorges just south of
Warburton on the Connie Sue Highway in WA - namely, MacKensie
Gorge,
Harkness Gorge,
Waterfall Gorge? They lie within the Yapupurra Aboriginal reserve but appear to lie right beside the track by what I can see on the Hema GDT map I've got loaded on my computer. I'd love to know if anyone has located them, what condition they are in, what sort of "gorge" ie, how large etc.

A group of us travelled the Connie Sue a few years ago. We only went to
Waterfall Gorge. It is on the west side of the Connie Sue and a few KMS north of the Parallel Rd Turn off.
Whilst picturesque, it isn't a Karinjini type
gorge much much smaller. It has a small
rock arch. When we were there, a small
pool of water was visble but it was green and slimy. Excellent camping spots are available on the eastern side of
the gorge.
Desert Discovery Inc spent a few weeks in the area in 2000, they published a comprehensive report that covered history, geoleogy, biology etc etc of the area. From memeory it was called the Coopers
Hill Project.
I could provide some more info such as contact email adresses but not thru the
forum, I need to respect other peoples privacy, can I email you direct?
cheers
