Windjama Gorge

Is an ancient coral

Reef formed before Gondwana Land

When the Kimberleys crashed into Australia

The coral reef structure stands out along the top ridge

Fresh water crocodile country

And nautilus fossils exposed in the reef structure

Our next stop was Bell Gorge

Passing some lovely table lands en-route

Our first river crossing

OK Bell Gorge was just more rocks and water!

But significant geologically

A Wild Dingo

An injured Frogmouth Owl sitting by the filling station the next morning

Isn’t the camouflage fantastic, he looks like a tree log!

We drove to the Australian Wildlife Conservation Mornington Wilderness Camp which is an 880,000 hectare wildlife reserve

To give an idea of its size we drove 100 kms. Across a small corner of it to get to the camp grounds.

The Boab trees are impressive on this fertile soil

The Boab trees were amazing!

Good spot for watching the rainbow bee eater birds
