After an amazing time around Broome, and Cape Leveque, we began the real reason for heading to the Kimberley; the Gibb River Road.

Dropping the tyres to 30 PSI at the start of the gravel on the Gibb River Road

Some heavy equipment coming off the Gibb River Road

Great road conditions and amazing scenery

Heading to Windjana Gorge

A quick afternoon sneak peak into the Gorge

Windjana Gorge

The start of Tunnel Creek

This is where a chunk of Tunnel Creek caved in

Early in the morning, straight down to the Gorge

A couple of freshwater crocodiles soaking up the sun

What a life!

Our campsite at Windjana Gorge

Perfect evenings in the bush

The stars are always better in the bush

On the way to Bell Gorge

Bell Gorge; what a beautiful place

Loving the Kimberley!

Get there early, or you will share it with plenty of others!

We counted at least 10 big water monitors

A brilliant place to swim

We saw a huge python (3 meters +) on the other side of the gorge

I’m not sure why it decided to go for a swim under the waterfall

Silent Grove, after a big day

Up early again, to Mornington Wilderness Camp

Some incredible dragon flies

Our favourite bird of the trip; the rainbow bee eater

Mornington has plenty of black and red cockatoo’s

We spent many hours watching the birds here

I guess they were watching us too!

You couldn’t get too close though, without them taking off

We’ve got some amazing memories through our 80 series

Another big python. This one had been hit crossing the road

An old Toyota ute, still in use at Mornington

Annie Creek; a brilliant, quiet place to relax!

More dragon flies

We hired Sir John Gorge to ourselves for the day

You get canoe hire, packed lunches and a whole lot of fun

Not many people get to see this part of the Kimberley

No wonder we were happy campers!

Sir John gorge on sunset

The Gibb River road is one amazing place to another

Blue Winged Kookaburra. These can’t laugh, but they do try

Lots of little birds (I guess they were babies?)

We saw 3 wild dingoes at Mornington

At the Mornington Lookout

All the time and effort spent on our 4WD is worth it for moments like this

Morningtons termite mound walk

Cadjeput; our favourite place at Mornington

Unbelievably stunning

Everything on Mornington is 4WD only too

One of many relaxing swims. It was a bit colder than the coast around Broome though!

The Mornington tour bus; an Oka

What a country we have to explore!

The boat across to Manning Gorge

All aboard!

Manning Falls

The view from the top of the falls

More of our friendly 4 legged friends

These were less friendly, and had a decent bite on them!

Filling up with liquid gold. Actually, it wasn’t too bad – $1.99 per litre of diesel
The first part of the Gibb River road was truly amazing, but there was plenty more! Check out the next post – Part 2 of the Gibb River Road. After that, we headed to Lake Argyle and the Bungle Bungles.
Awesome pics mate so beautiful and cannot wait to see it all in person
Thank’s a lot! It’s well worth the trip!
