Scrammy Defender

Scrammy Gorge

Scrammy Gorge really is a rapidly developing gorge in the scrammy jump up. The water running across here each wet season is eroding away the base of the cliff further each season.

Perhaps the most scrammy of Scrammy Trees I have ever seen. This tree has bent every which way to ensure it maintains a grip on the rock and its roots in some soil.

Scrammy Waterhole

Scrammy waterhole made for a beautiful reflection pool in the morning light.
