Broome via Gibb River Road

We have been traveling down the Gibb River Road. We started with a few days in Kunnunarra with visits to Wyndam and a few days in El Questro where we watched the sun set and barked at a kangaroo from the Saddleback Look Out.

We set off down the Gibb River Road that was all dirt and we thought it was rough, until we turned off towards the Mitchell Falls. That road was so rough Tiffany had to sit on KnK's lap because she could not cope with the noise and the bouncing. We stayed in Drysdale camp 1 night then went to the King Edward River camp where we went for walks and a swim in the King Edward River. Keith's Facebook has some pics of us there. Dogs were not allowed in Mitchell Falls so we were 'dog sat' by Maggie and Minties humans while KnK went to the falls, then they swapped next day so we had 2 days in King Edward River.

After that we went to Manning Gorge where we had a big swim in the river and a walk along the bank. The water was lovely and cool, and it also washed off a lot of the dirt, dust, weeds and prickles that had stuck to our coats.

We moved on to Derby and the end of the Gibb River Road where we went out for dinner. (The humans got the dinner, we just got the odd scraps, but we were allowed to lie under the table).

We went to Broome and did the tourist thing, looking at lots of places like the Port and the dinasaur footprints.
The photos show us swimming in Manning Gorge, sight-seeing at the Broome Port and playing on Cable beach. There were lots more pictures, but there is not enough room to show them all. Click on the picture to get a bigger version.
