GRR - Mount Barnett Station and Manning Gorge

Once we got back onto the GRR we headed for Mt Barnett Station camp area, from there you can walk to Manning Gorge. As we pulled into the station we discovered the van had a flat tyre, took the wheel off and discovered that a shard of rock had punctured the tread just near the sidewall of the tyre. We will have to get that fixed at the next road house at Iminji as Mt Barnett did not do tyre repairs. We topped up on food here as well, a couple of packets of chops, frozen veggies and some butter etc cost us $135!!

The falls were awesome!! We had a ball swimming in the gorge, it's such a pretty spot. The walk starts with you wading across the river with the water chest high and swimming the last bit. The camp area provides styrofoam containers to transfer your stuff across.

Once across the river it's a 3k walk to the gorge. When we got to the falls the scenery was spectacular. Video of the Waterfall.



I found a rock to jump off and we proceeded to spend the best part of the day there. Fantastic spot!!
