GRR - Galvans And Bell Gorges

We got back on the GRR and headed west, just down the road was another gorge by the name of Galvans so we popped in there to have a look. The bush walk took us into a little waterfall with a plunge pool at the end of the track. At the top of the falls there is a boab tree growing in the middle of the falls, made for a great photo.



After Galvans we headed to Silent Grove for the night. Before that we stopped in at Imintji road house to get the tyre we damaged near Mt Barnett fixed, for $55 the guy installed an internal patch and all was good. Nice bloke. Some of the damaged tyres he had in the yard were fascinating to look at and made me wonder what some people are thinking driving the way they do out on these roads and causing that kind of damage to the tyres. We topped up with diesel and headed off down the rocky road.

Silent grove is a camp ground in the King Leopold Ranges Conservation Park and a great place to make a base camp for a look at Bells Gorge. The campsite was great and we made the 10k drive and short walk to the gorge the next morning. Another excellent gorge with fantastic views.
