We didn't overly rush getting packing up but we were out reasonably early. We got rid of our rubbish in the trailer provided and grabbed some water because we heard the water supply at the roadhouse was slow and it caused lengthy delays.
The 30 klm road out of the station was as horrendous as we remembered but the main Gibb River road to Mount Barnett roadhouse was actually pretty good. Yes it was corrugated but no where near as deep as the first section and there were your typical wash outs and river crossing so we still need to be careful and drive to the conditions.
The roadhouse was chaotic, very very busy with people lined up for fuel and water everywhere. Lucky we didn't need either so we grabbed our camping permit and a box of hot chips and left to do the 7 klm road down to the campground. Hot chips feel like such a luxury when you've been away from civilisation for a while!
The campground was very large and we found a spot no problems at all. We set up and decided it was early enough to drive down the road to look at the two gorges that are near this main gorge.
We drove down to Adcock gorge which has quite a 4wd track into it so we glad we decided to do it from our campground and not on the way out like most people said to do!
There was a bit of a walk and rock hopping to get into the gorge but it was yet another beautiful swimming hole and water fall. We swam until our skin was wrinkly.
Once back out to the main road we popped into Galvans gorge on the way back. It was really packed with people at the car park and it was another 1 klm walk in so given it was getting late in the afternoon and we are able to do this gorge on our way out we will do exactly that when we leave our current camp site.
Back at camp and we cooked a couple of steaks from the previous cattle station. They were only rump and they cooked very quickly so a little over done but thats how Karen likes her steak!! I cook supermarket meat too often that is full of water so these real steaks cooked so quickly.
We watched some footy and went to bed.
