Derby, Start of the Gibb River Road
We left Derby at 8:30am and after filling up with fuel we were quickly on the Gibb River Road. The first bit of the road is sealed but it was not long before we got onto the unsealed road. Daddy stopped to let the air out of the tyres and we made our way towards Windjana Gorge. We arrived at the DEC campsite and were greeted by the onsite hosts before setting up the trailer in the shade of one of the trees. We had lunch and then around 3pm we walked into the gorge.
Close up to a Freshwater Crocodile in Windjana Gorge.
We soon saw lots of freshwater crocodiles and watched as some wallabies came down for a late afternoon drink.

Today we went to Tunnel Creek and walked with our torches into the Tunnel and all the way to the end.
The tunnel is famous as the location where Jandamarra was killed. you can see the story here.

Oliver and I saw some eyes in the water which we are sure were freshwater crocodiles. On the way back to Windjana we stopped at the old police station.
