| More Gorge action |
We were pretty gutted to be leaving Broome after an amazing action packed 3
days there, but the road beckoned – especially given we hadn’t even set foot in
the car the day before! This time the trip to Derby took quite a bit longer,
but since we’d had the comprehensive tour the previous day we only needed to
stop for fuel and tyre pressure check.

| Time for a spot of reflection |
From there it was time to jump on (the start of) the Gibb River Road. It
was with a bit of trepidation we made the turn onto it, as we’d heard very
mixed reports on the 2WD accessibility of the road, but we trusted the
literature and enjoyed a fairly smooth ride to Windjana Gorge, the first stop
of interest in the Kimberley. A brief stroll turned into a bit of a hike
enjoying some more gorge reflections in the company of freshwater crocs, and by
the time we got back the sun was too low to contemplate going further that day.
Rather, we took advantage of the bush camping availability, sat back and
prepared a birthday risotto feast (well, Annaliza did – inspired by Lotti!).
Arguably one of the best birthdays Tony has ever had.

These go very nicely with a Muscat from Politini’s winery in King Valley.
