The turnoff into the Mornington Wilderness Camp, a wildlife sanctuary, was at the 402km mark and then another 83km to the camp. There was a good setup at the camp, including hot showers. We are actually getting more luxury along the Gibb than we were expected. After setting up camp and having some lunch on Saturday we then drove to Sir John Gorge. The road was pretty good except for one extremely rocky dry creek crossing. We took a video of our return trip t...

After getting petrol from the Mt Barnett Roadhouse, we headed 14kms down the Gibb to Galvan's Gorge. This was a lovely gorge and easy 1km walk off the road. There were a few water monitors around this waterhole. The were not scared of the people, just sat relaxing on their rocks. We then continued on to Charnley River Station which was 43km north of the Gibb River at the 402km point. It was a lovely drive in and a nice camp area, however the gorges were anot...

We moved on from the lookout early as this was going to be a bit of driving to get to the next destination. We stopped for morning tea at the Kalumburu Road junction (243km mark). We had agreed not to head up to Mitchell falls given the condition of the road there. We stopped at the Mt Barnett Roadhouse, 353km, to pay the camp fees for Manning Gorge and then travelled 7km off the Gibb to the gorge. After setting up camp we went for a walk to the waterfalls...

We were both hugely relieved when we made it past the 10km mark of the Gibb River Road! The road was pretty rough. We hit our next obstacle, the Pentecost River, at the 57km mark. We decided to stop for lunch and wait to see others cross before we took the plunge. A couple of vehicles went across whilst we were lunching, one a truck the other a Landcruiser. Both crossed with ease so we got ready to cross. All went well. We only travelled another 10kms to g...

"Why have they another entry in Kununurra?" I hear you ask. Well it's an interesting story and it goes like this. We took our time packing up the camp to take advantage of the wireless internet available at the caravan park. We stopped in town for money, milk and petrol before hitting the road. The first 52kms were very pleasurable along the highway to the turn off to the Gibb River Road. Here we pulled up to reduce the pressure in our tyres and th...
