A little way downstream begins the gorge. First is a series of deep pools, like roman baths, where the cool water cascades in at the head of each, and tumbles through an outlet into the next pool. Each pool is a little lower in height than the preceding one. There is not much to do, here but swim and relax, and contemplate nature in its finest display. The gorge here is well-worn, the bedrock smooth granite with many fine places for drying off in sunshine. | A little way downstream begins the gorge.

After a one hour scrub bash down Du Cane Gap we found ourselves strolling along the Overland Track. We paused at Windy Ridge Hut to examine the Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park map, and after a brief discussion opted to push on for a further 8 kilometres to Pine Valley Hut, from which we had the opportunity of climbing The Acropolis, weather permitting, on Friday. With light rain falling the track along the western bank of Cephissus Creek, through a forest of intertwining trees, was very wet underfoot. The hut itself was particularly dank and firewood in the region was scarce and damp. The hut provided accommodation for a total of ten walkers that night.
