Despite car technical issues we decided to drive inland to explore Karijini National Park. The bitumen road was picturesque but more often flat and boring. We drove 330 km in total emptiness with no trees, mountains or even small hills. Just grass, only grass. Dales Campground – Eastern Karijini National Park Further inland it was very…
Our next destination was Windjana Gorge – the best place to see freshwater crocodiles. The road through Leopold Ranges was perhaps the most picturesque on the entire Gibb River Rd. These hills are just beautiful, plus thousands of baobabs thriving in the most amazing places and dried nearly to dust golden grasses of spinifex. Despite…

We covered the distance in less than 2 hours. We used our Hema GPS Navigator to make sure we stay on track. Spring Creek Track was winding with…
