The Gibb River Road (GRR)

Our first day on the GRR saw us get to Home Valley Station. There are two stations at the eastern side of the road the other being El Questro Station. We were advised to go to Home Valley as El Questro can get busy. We crossed the Pentecost river and headed for Home Valley, we would go to El Questro for a day trip to explore the gorges.

Crossing the Pentecost River.



We got to Home valley and that place was buzzing as well, they had a bush camp down on the river so we opted for that. We are right on the Pentecost River, a lovely spot. We kept well away from the rivers edge at there are some massive crocks in the system.



The stations are set up well out here with all the amenities, cabins, restaurants and bars. They must make a fortune as there were hundreds on the upper reaches of the station, glad we went to a bush camp.

Tomorrow we will go and explore the gorges in El Questro.
