Kimberley - Gibb River Road
The Gibb River road stretches 700 kms through the central Kimberley Plateau. It can become very corrugated and restrictions can be expected during the wet season. The photographs in this gallery are among those taken earlier around the year 2000 and are included more for their interest than their quality. Best viewed in small view, as it is not possible to capture the fine details that the camera has not captured in the first place.

Jack's Waterhole
Jack's Waterhole is a permanent pool on the Durack River off the Gibb River Road, and was developed into a camp site. I believe the camp is now closed.

Gibb River Road ends
Silence, suddenly you hit bitumen and leave the hundreds of kilometres of red dust and corrugations behind. The end of the Gibb River Road.
