Wyndham is a place people don't really talk about, for some reason most travelers of the Gibb go straight to Kununurra. We're very glad we did go to Wyndham, the caravan park was nice and quiet and a couple of our travel companions were there too. A major highlight was the Five Rivers Lookout, it was amazing, you can see the King River, Ord River, Pentecost River and Forrest River and the mud flats they created all from the lookout. We also visited another Prison...

From Derby our first stop was going to be at Windjana Gorge, it's only a few hours out of Derby and bitumen most of the way. On arrival we were pleased to see only a handful of campers already there. We chose our spot and went for a walk to the beginning of the gorge where we were told there were some fresh water crocs basking in the sun. The walk to the gorge was through open grass land with just a few larger trees, but once at the gorge there was lush tree cov...

So I thought I had better write before we leave. We had no expectations for Derby, it is smaller than Broome with a population of around 4500, half of these they say are Aboriginal. Derby certainly has a long connection wit...

So our first point of interest to stop at was Coppin Gap. This turned out to be a lovely gap through the mountains with quite a large pool of water in it. Here we only found an elderly couple that were retired f...

Newman had been good to us and getting our wheels from Perth was a great bonus. Next stop was Hamersley Gorge. Here was our first taste of crowds, the carpark was overflowing and there were people everywhere in the gorge. It was a lovely place with amazing rock formations. It was a pity the crowds weren't too respectful to the beauty of this place, most were intent on making noise and jumping into the waters. From here the road became very rough and rocky with ...
