Walking in the Baroalba basin is relatively easy. We take our time at the art sites, time enough to do some sketching if you so desire. If you got to this page from Ursula Mengel's story, you'll know about the rainstorm. The photos below show the campsite the afternoon before the storm and the morning after. If you got to this page from somewhere else, click the link below the photos if you would like to see Ursula's tale. | ||

| The photos above show a typical campsite, a rocky outcrop next to the creek and a detail from one of the art sites. |

| If you want to see flowing water like this in the Baroalba area, you have to come during the wet season. | |
 |
 |
| Scenes like the above are more likely during the Wet than the Dry. |

 |
| The walking isn't always easy, but the views are worth the effort. It's not all hard work. We always have time to stop and enjoy the flowers. |
