We made it across the Gibb River Road. A rough dirt road that runs 500km from Kununurra to Derby. A number of large (300K Ha) cattle stations run camp sites (and resorts!). The first and most famous is El Questro where we stayed for four nights. The private campsite had a long swimming hole - which was great - until we learned it was 100m on the wrong side of the line they deem safe from Salties. Ooops.
Zebedee Springs is a creek in the rainforest with water warmed by hot rocks in the earth..
Emma Gorge. We swum out and under the waterfall. There was warm water flowing out of a cliff here as well.
Lachlan and Oliver, new mates who we paralled for a few weeks.
El Questro Gorge.
Amazing palms in the gorge.
You have to swim this hole (big sacrifice!) to reach the upper half of the Gorge.
Kids doing a horse riding lesson at ELQ.
Chamberlain Gorge at ELQ. A salt water croc lives in this one.
Stunning country. Branco's lookout, one of the fab manicured 4WD tracks.We had an ugly time on an un-manicured track at another station. Oh my!
Back to Zebedee Springs at 7am on our last day. With Dr Evil.
Thanks for the mega-updates! Great to see you all having lots of watery fun- the colder pools must be refreshing? Fuel prices might be all we have in common at the moment! Keep enjoying your adventures 8-) The B-Bs
