Zebedee Springs & Pentecost Crossing

After yesterday's trek, Graham and I felt a little body weary. We had a slow breakfast before deciding to visit Zebedee Springs. This destination was only an easy 10-minute walk from the car park through Livistona Palms to some thermal pools. This is usually a bustling spot, so we were ready to find it crowded, but luckily for us, many groups were departing, leaving the springs relatively quiet. Much to Graham's disgust, the pools were warm—we think about 32 degrees—so not refreshing. I, on the other hand, found a secluded comfortable spot and spent the next hour relaxing to the sound of birds and gurgling water.

The Pentecost River Crossing was next on our list of places to visit today. This is another iconic water crossing located at the eastern end of the Gibb River Road and has a great view of the Cockburn Ranges.Read more
