Nice pics Charlie. I particularly like the iffy looking bridge, I could have
fun trying to coax SWMBO over that :-))
I wish I could help with the IDs, but unfortunately not. Some friends went
there recently, and I must put it on my list of places to go.

I think thats the oddest thing about the place, Liz is terrified of
heights and will not even drive on the nearside lanes on bridges, I am
not keen above a ladders length either, yet we find we can thread our way
along paths with very steep drops, must be the vegetation or something.
Of course you always have plan B for the tricky bits (not yet resorted
to) of taking off shoes and socks and walking down the lavada itself!
Lovely photos, Charlie but I do admit you're far more energetic than we were
when we were there! ;-)
