We have started heading east - about 130km along the Gibb River Road before detouring via the Fairfield-Leopold Road due to road closures on the GRR.

We camped at Windjana Gorge most notable for its wildlife that inhabit the series of waterholes that form in the gorge during the dry season.

A challenging drive to Tunnel Creek with it's 2km subterranean walk which involved wading through freezing water sometimes in pitch black - a nervous experience given the wildlife in the area. However, we used the premise that if we can't see them, they can't see us.

There was often a line of cars at creek crossings waiting for someone to bite the bullet and head across.
