Gilbert River

Today we have made another epic journey. All the way from Cumberland Chimney towards Croyden, stopping at Gilbert River.

Wikipedia says that the Gilbert and Einaslee rivers combine to form the largest river system in far north Queensland.

The Gilbert River was named after Naturist John Gilbert who was involved with Lugwig Leichhardt's expedition. He lost his life with a fatal spearing when the camp near the gulf was attacked by aboriginals at night. Apparently persons in the party, claimed to be aboriginals, had interfered with women from the attacking group.
