We decided against proceeding along the Gibb River Road as originally planned. The lack of water in the rivers means many of the attractions are dry and without the spectacular scenery for which The Kimberley is known. The excessive temperatures and corrugated roads helped our decision.
On the way out from El Questro we visited El Questro Gorge (1hr walk), Zebedee Springs (30 mins) and popped into Emma Gorge Resort.
Once on the Great Northern Highway we headed to Purnululu National Park which is home of the Bungle Bungles. The park is accessed via a very rough 4WD track. Maybe even rougher than the Halligan’s Bay track. But the drive was rewarded with a wonderful “bush” camp and placed us in prime position to visit the park the following day. Purnululu National Park gained World Heritage status in 2003.

Up early the next day (5:20am) to visit Cathedral Gorge, one of the main features. Then back on the road towards Halls Creek.
