Day 2 Bell Gorge & Mt Barnett Station

Flowers of the kapok tree
Communication facilities were very unreliable and unavailable!
The morning is devoted to exploring Bell Gorge, a hidden highlight of the West Kimberleys. 


This idyllic retreat, considered amongst the most beautiful in the area, boasts cascading waterfalls and crystal clear pools formed over millions of years - an easy place to while away a few hours! 

This may well be the case but it weren't all that easy to get to.
But it was very pretty...




 Our tour took us further up the Gibb River Road to Mt Barnett Cattle Station.
An afternoon trek into Manning Falls gave us the chance to swim in deep clear pools amid a stunning natural landscape.


Relaxing,  exploring wandering streams,

 and taking a dip in the waterfall pools.


That night, we camped by a billabong on Mt Barnett Station.
