Our next destination was Windjana Gorge – the best place to see freshwater crocodiles. The road through Leopold Ranges was perhaps the most picturesque on the entire Gibb River Rd. These hills are just beautiful, plus thousands of baobabs thriving in the most amazing places and dried nearly to dust golden grasses of spinifex. Despite…

Katherine – preparation before heading to WA We’ve arrived in Katherine once again, planning to stay for a couple of days before making our way to Lake Argyle.
