Going on a tour ride today. Maybe paid a bit too much but not sure we’d get to see and enjoy these two by driving around. Had a safari style car to take us around which got the kiddies a bit excited. Lots of older patrons on the tour with […]

Mostly a travel day today too very to the other end of the Gibb. Last 20kms was unsealed corrugation but not the worst we have seen. The site here is well established and commercialised, two helicopter, horse riding, steak house, bar etc. Still, a nice setting with a creek running […]

Just a few photos from Kylie. Also remembered we saw a little lizard going to Gavin’s gorge, he’d run a bit then wave, run a bit then keep waving. Pretty cute and had us in stitches.

20230814 Gibbs Bells Gorge
Packed up the van reasonably early and headed to Imintji to park up for a few days. Pretty decent site to be honest after hearing it was average. Filled up at 285c/l highest so far I think. Packed the car to head to Bells Gorge without the van. Another slow […]
