Sheet Music: ScoreThe Secrets of Butterfly Gorge : a guitar solo / by Richard Charlton.by Richard Charlton (2016)

Product details
Butterfly Gorge is located about 200 km south of Darwin, along
the old Stuart Highway. Cool crevices in the rock face of this
beautiful gorge provide shelter for the Common Crow Butterflies
that often aggregate there in the winter months. The rock pools
are shaded by paperbarks up to 50 metres tall. This quiet gorge
is tucked away at the base of a low sandstone plateau. The sheer
rock faces edged by dense riverine vegetation and rocky spinifex.
Sometimes, in June or July, the gorge plays host to a secret
world where many thousands of butterflies hang on the leaves in
its sheltered vegetation. This is one of the most spectacular
seasonal sights in the Bush.
