Gibb River Rd – Windjana Gorge, Tunnel Creek – 1 to 3 August 2010

We left Leopold Downs rather late on 1 August, as we spent the morning visiting the Wesley School site. Although we drove past Tunnel Creek we decided not to stop, but come back the next day and so drove straight to Windjana Gorge.
This is a nice National Park camp site and we had a fresh water crocodile hamming it up for the cameras. We also had Tricia’s Birthday Candles around the campfire.

The next day we drove back to Tunnel Creek, which is a gorge waiting to happen and walked through the various caverns to the creek at the other end of the tunnel. It was a great walk, and John did not tell Trish about the bright red crocodile eyes shining in the torch light as we waded through the creek.




At Tunnel Creek we saw another Wicked Camper. These all have some witty, some risque slogans painted on them. This one was suitable for a family blog.

From Windjana we headed off to join the Gibb River Road.
Just past the turn is a Snack Stop at Lennard’s River where you can get a cup of tea or coffee and a snack. We had a cup of tea and talked to a truck driver, also a poet who recited one of his works. He told us it is available to read on the wall of the Innamincka Pub.
