Good luck getting a camp with all the grey nomads living in the small camp area for months!
Also make sure you get fire wood before you get there.
Take goggle and snorkel. Once you get a km down the gorge there is some amazing aquatic life. Best art sites are along the top in the boulder piles.
Have fun!

Umbrawarra gorge is amazing. I've hiked all the way through before, ending with a 100m+ swim through the last section of the canyon in freezing cold water. Beautiful scenery through the gorge as well.

I ran into a 3m freshie down in that bottom stretch. The woman I was with refused to swim past it (it wasn't happy with us being there) so we had to climb out up the cliff face. Pain in the bum but once up the top we found all the art sites so all good.

There is another big pool a few hundred meters past the end of the gorge that has huge fork tailed catfish. The same woman when she saw them screamed "sharks!!"
