Day 88 - Manning Gorge to May River (Fri July 20th)
The Western end of the Gibb River road is very scenic, we drove through two beautiful ranges today, the King Leopold and Napier Ranges.
We had lunch on the Lennard River, nearly in the exact same spot Damon and I camped at 9 years ago. The Lennard River Rest stop is pretty much opposite the turn off to Windjana Gorge, which is where we headed after lunch.
We were originally planning on camping at Windjana Gorge, but the campgrounds were pretty full with no shade or pits available for us to have a fire. After a nice walk to the gorge, we pushed on, and ended up camping on the rocky river bed of the May River.
We almost completed the Gibb River Road today, our camp spot being only 40km from the western end.
Tomorrow we will be in beautiful Broome!
