DAY 93 Pilbara – Kimberley Trip
GIBB RIVER ROAD
BELL GORGE – LEONARD GORGE
Bell Gorge is just a stunner.
It is a magnificent gorge.
We made our way there this morning and spent quite some time admiring the falls. Probably our favourite gorge.
Eventually we made our way back and decided to moozie on. Some huge termite mounds here. One was as tall as the Oka.
The scenery is dramatic as the King Leopold Ranges make their presence felt.
There was a lookout just after you went over the top King Leopold Range.
Someone had also left their bull bar behind here.
Then more dramatic scenery along the way.
I just loved the lines and textures on some of the rock cliffs.
We stopped for lunch at March Fly Glen Rest area and regret not stopping there for the day. A beautiful rest area with lovely pandanus.
Leonard Gorge was our next port of call. It is a very spectacular gorge and very different to the other gorges.
We are getting towards the end of Gibb River Road and feel somewhat gorged out but Leonard Gorge is a beauty as was Bell Gorge.
We didn’t feel like driving much after the 2 km return walk to Leonard Gorge.
So we pulled up on Milliewindie Road in a little area that has been used for camping by others.
Hubby did his checks as usual and woe and behold another little problem that was quickly solved. The filter that prevents dust getting into the diffs had sheared off. We are sure that is due to the corrugated roads we have travelled on. The problem was fixed with a scrap of fabric that for a change hubby had not me.
We are a bit intrigued by where we are as the road does not feature on the tourist route. But guess what – a 4WD tourist vehicle went up the road this evening. We looked at the map and there could be some interesting sights. We will see tomorrow.
