Another great Gibb River Road trip again. This one going up to the Mitchell falls, El Questro Station and a few other gorgeous gorges that we don’t look at on our Bungle Bungle Gibb River Rd trip. Spectacular riding, especially up on the plateau where the rain fall is twice as high as down on the Gibb River Rd and the tracks are lined with lush Livistonia Eastonnia Palms. The Plateau definitely shows a different side to the Kimberly, as I believe the Bungle Bungles do too. Both are definite highlights of each trip.
This last trip went without a hitch, not even a flat! Which is a rarity when you see what the roads are like out there. Great to ride as you can hug the smooth hard edges, but shocking to drive. One can not complain too much, as this is one of two reasons why this place is still only lightly visited by tourists, the other is that it is Australia’s most remote wildness thousands of kilometers from the nearest city.
On a trip south through the Pilbra and along the coast back to Perth now, which will be a ride next year.
