DAY 92 Pilbara – Kimberley Trip
GIBB RIVER ROAD
MORNINGTON WILDERNESS CAMP – SILENT GROVE/BELL GORGE
In the morning my hubby did his usual morning check of steering oil and loose bolts. He found another one had managed to do the disappearing act since yesterday. This time from the power steering reservoir – nothing serious. Luckily he had a replacement on hand.
As planned we visited Cajeput water hole this morning. It is a beautiful relaxing spot. We spent some time here looking at the river flowing by, listening to the birds and doing some reading.
After a while we made our way back to the campsite to fill up our water bladders. There was a car there that couldn’t start and they had no jumper leads. Hubby gave them a hand as we had jumper leads.
We made our way back to Gibb River Road. Both of us felt that we had seen much more impressive sights elsewhere along the Gibb than at Mornington. It was not worth the 168km detour.
The road into Mornington though was worth the trip. Mount House is unusual.
The Leopold Ranges are dramatic.
We arrived quite early at Silent Grove. Bell Gorge camping site is closed due to fire damage to the toilets and water supply. So we’ve set up camp here and spent some time planning the next part of our trip.
A very relaxing day.
