Gibb River Road Trip - Manning Gorge

talk about heaven. we camped at mt barnett camp ground, right outside the manning gorge walk entrance.  the campsite was nice and quiet and well spaced out.  we slept really well and enjoyed the beautiful stars.  next morning got up at 5am and started on the walk to manning gorge.  it ended up taking about 2 1/2 hours round trip and was worth every step. in fact, i wish this walk was in derby because i would definitely go every day. this i what i've been missing.  it had sandy beaches, beautiful river, craggy rocks, and a beautiful gorge at the end.  we also spotted wallaroo's on the way!  saw the sunrise.  the gorge and it's waterfall was heavenly. next time i plan to swim when there :) see more photos here at Gibb River Road Trip 2011

Gibb River Road Trip - Galvan's Gorge

stopped quickly at a very accessible gorge on the way to our camping spot - galvan's gorge. it was very beautiful but extremely crowded. we did see a really pretty lizard on the way, munching fish in a little waterfall.  people were swimming and enjoying the waterfall but we were pressed for time so we just took a peek and left again.
