We rented a 4wd and took a trip along the legendary Gibb River Road, a 660km dirt track through the heart of the Kimberley, running from Derby to Kununurra. We drove a small portion of that (around 120km) to Windjana Gorge to admire the views. We saw plenty of freshwater crocodiles basking in the pools along the gorge walk. They're apparently not as aggressive as their saltwater cousins, but we kept our distance all the same. This region is also known for its Boab trees, which were dotted along the route. Some Boabs are over 1500 years old and each one seems to have a character and personality of its own.
A tiring day, but a great first glimpse of the Kimberley and some white knuckle off-road driving.
