The start of the Gibb

Walked up the creek in the morning and Poppy had a sleep whilst Rosie and I made a sandcastle of our house in Downderry :) Stopped to let the girls cool off in a rockpool on the way back. Didn't spot any crocs but Matt found some awesome shells!
Stayed at Derby for the night after picking up some camping supplies from the shop next door. At reception we were warned to lock everything away at night and "you'll be fine"... Bit disconcerting.
Nothing got nicked thankfully!
The next morning we did our big food shop as we need to have enough for 8 days on the Gibb. There are a couple of Roadstations but it sounds like fresh produce will be very limited.
Soon after getting on to the Gibb River Road, we saw lots of birds of prey. Some were definitely eagles of some sort. Huge with big feathery legs and sharp hooked beak. First stop on the Gibb? Windjana Gorge.Read more
