Day 6: Exploring Punamii-Uunpuu (Mitchell Falls)

A big walk today, but also a big highlight!

With the help of expert local guides from the Kandiwal Community, we'll discover rarely seen Gwion Gwion and Wanjina rock art galleries, with full interpretation. The walk also takes us past Little and Big Mertens Falls before concluding at the sensational 4-tiered Mitchell Falls.
