El Questro

 

We were very excited to find out that the Gibb River Rd was open at the other end and we were able to get as far as the Pentecost River….which meant we could see El Questro Wilderness Park. El Questro is a wonderful place with, gorges, waterfalls, swimming holes and warm springs  We spent three nights at the “Station” where you can camp right on the Pentecost.  We were there for a Saturday night which was great…live country music being heard across the Station…river rapids in the background…very relaxing place to be.

The river crossing to get into the camping ground.

Pentecost River by our camp ground. It’s flowing very fast at the moment so the kids had a great time flowing down then getting out and running back up stream to get in again.

       Zebedee Springs – nice and warm.

Isaac being very brave.

Pentecost River where it crosses Gibb River Rd…still a metre deep.

The kids did a great job of doing the walks, some of them took a very long time in the hot sun but they kept on going….I guess a refreshing swim at the end was always a great incentive.

Off to Northern Territory now. Hope everything back home is going well, miss you all.
