Week 6 - The Gibb River Road - North Kimberly Region Windjana Gorge


















Windjana Gorge – one night stay

We had a smooth trip today travelling from Derby to Windjana Gorge, mostly tar road!!!! The main difficulty was the heat and dust – hovering just below 40˚C.

We were very surprised to find a very remote W.A style cafe – serving snacks and ice-creams. Some would turn up their noses but we knew how remote we were! $15 for 5 paddle pops!


The gorge walk was lovely in the slightly cooler afternoon and the light seems to take on a magical quality. The girls have never seen so many wild freshwater crocodiles! They were all a bit aggressive as it was mating season. No chance of swimming but Sarah decided to take a dust bath because she had too much sand in her shoes. Bit of a tantrum here.


Facilities here are great with hot showers and flushing toilets!
