Gibb River Rd - Mornington Wilderness – 5 to 7 August 2010

From Bell Gorge we drove back to the Gibb River Road, and then after a short distance took the turn off to to Mornington Wilderness Sanctuary.
The Sanctuary is owned and run by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, and part of the property has been destocked to provide a habitat for the endangered Gouldian Finch. It is a haven for many other bird species.

We swam in Cadjeput Water Hole and went out to Sir John Gorge at sunset. We had a dinner at Redtails Restaurant in the lodge; it is a set menu.
The next day we canoed up Dimond Gorge.

 


We did the bird walk at Mornington at 6.00a.m.

After breakfast in the lodge we said goodbye to Mornington Wilderness, a very special place.
