Name:
Jurassic Gorge
Description:

Was named by Yuri Bolotin on 30 July 2018. He records, “By 1402, we reached Genowlan Creek in the area known as Jurassic Park. As everywhere else we had been today, this location was in the grip of severe drought. Still, it retained the pre-historic feel that must be responsible for its name – giant Tree Ferns line the creek banks covered in smaller ferns and Bracken. One could imagine it would look so much better and more luxuriant after a bit of rain. I thought it would be appropriate to name the wild gorge we had followed from the tops (Paddys Mountain) all the way here, Jurassic Gorge.”
