• Adcock and Galvans Gorges

    22. Juli 2024 in Australien ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

    Woke up to lots of birds singing at our campsite at Bell Gorge. We drove back down the bumpy track and through some smallish (but some steep and quite deep) river crossings to rejoin the Gibb River Road. Stopped at Imintji Community where there's a store and toilets, they didn't have any of the veg we needed, but I was quite impressed they had some fresh produce. Bought a coffee and cake instead before heading on our way to Adcock Gorge.
    It was quite a challenging walk to the gorge, with rocks to scramble over and bits of river to walk through. Rosie did great though and seemed to really enjoy it.
    The pool at the gorge was idyllic. Steep rocky sides and a deep round pool where you could swim across to some trickling waterfalls. The water was a bit chilly for the girls but Matt and I took it in turns to have a swim. When I got out there was a small yellow snake in the water at the edge. We also saw some really pretty butterflies.
    I've really loved seeing so many butterflies and dragonflies as well as interesting birds at the gorges.
