We officially left the Gibb River Road today heading south to Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek. Windjana Gorge was Jaime’s favourite gorge. It was hard to get a photo to do it justice but this gorge looked different from the others, in that it had big black rocks faces that towered over either side of the river and in places it looked quite spooky.

We moved onto Tunnel Creek which was awesome. This is a creek running through a big sandstone tunnel. We had to wear head torches to find our way through and walk through the creek. There were meant to be small fresh water crocs in there but we didn’t spot any of them. It was great fun exploring this tunnel. That night we had found a great campsite amongst a rocky outcrop surrounded by boab trees just south of Tunnel Creek.

Interestingly the worst dirt road we drove on was not anywhere on the Gibb River Road but on this section of road heading from Tunnel Creek down towards Fitzroy Crossing. The good thing is that we crossed all these roads without even getting one flat tyre!
