Day 12 - Silent Grove - Bells Gorge - Galvin Gorge

After a good nights sleep in a real bed and a nice continental breakfast we headed back to Derby to collect the cars and headed down the Gibb River Road to Silent Grove to camp which would enable us to get to Bells Gorge the next day. Silent Grove is a National Park camping ground and had flushing toilets and showers !! (very exciting when you're camping in a National Park and realise is not a long drop )

Bells Gorge - a challenging walk to get to the second part of the gorge but so worth it , Mark & Tony ventured down several pools to get to the top of the waterfall , I played it a bit safer a had a swim in the main pool.

Galvins Gorge photos below) is an easy walk in off the Gibb River Road,

Once again it was a warm day so a swim at the end of our walk was most welcome,

Tony was first in and the look on his face told us that there was something wrong ......he had his car keys in his shorts pocket and after his dive in to the water came up with his pockets empty  !!

Fortunately Tony had suggested that we swap our spare keys before we headed out ......................................disaster averted  !
