So that's what they were talking about

Many of our friends when they have returned from their big Aussie adventures have talked in reverent tones about a few key places they visited. When you haven't been to those places , you can feel a bit on the outer , not part of the special club. We can now include ourselves in the special group who have made it along The Gibb River Road. We can speak the exclusive language and have acquired the signature handshake or is it a body shake developed through 1000+ kilometres of corrugated , dusty, rocky road . I should point out that the girls in our party are not so sure they are really happy to have earnt their way into the club.

Nevertheless, we did manage to enjoy many aspects of the Gibb River Road, especially the many gorges and the rugged beauty of the Kimberley.

I thought we had made it through unscathed. A good opportunity to display advanced man skills to the children

We made it - Cable Beach Broome

More comfortable than the Troopie on the Gibb

Tomorrow we head north to join another exclusive club. The  Cape Leveque Club. We often hear people say that the Kimberley was their favourite region in Australia and Cape Leveque was their favourite spot in the Kimberley. Expectations are high. Then it will be back to Broome before we head to yet another favourite - The Karijini.
