Visiting the Kimberly

One of the main reasons for the trip up to Broome was getting to see the Kimberly. Broome is the gateway to the Kimberly, though apparently it could be argued that it is actually Derby. Our first stop on the tour was the prison tree before stopping for morning tea and heading down the Gibb River Road. This lead is to Windjana Gorge, where we were 'fortunate' enough to see fresh water crocodiles, which are the smaller ones. Apparently, no big deal, though I was just glad they were on the other side of the embankment. We had amazing guides that entertained us with history of the area as well as dreamtime stories. Including one of the child rock in the gorge, where the crocodiles get their red eyes, how the crocodile came to being. There was a group of children fishing at the gorge and then went swimming...where the crocodiles were. No thanks. Can you see the fossil? Next lunch (I like tours, always being fed!!) before heading to tunnel creek. Here we hiked through the tunnel and saw Stalactites and Stalagmites, bats (I am convinced we saw ghost bats which are all white, but I was told they were too big). We also saw a calcium wall that sparkled we saw the most amazing flaming red sunset. The day ended with dinner at the roadhouse. Amazing day.
