Windjana Gorge

The Gibb River Road remains on the serious outback travelers list of 'must dos' until finally conquered.
It has a rugged reputation only equalled by the Canning Stock Route, but for quite different reasons. Whereas the CSR traverses deserts and it's beauty relates to that environment, the Challenges of the Gibb relate to the effect on the roads of water resulting from the annual wet. The road is in fact impassable and closed for much of the year. So the spectacular nature of the scenery is related to gorges and water courses. Here Windjanna Gorge gives up it's spectacular beauty in the fading afternoon light.
