18th September
Our next stop was Bell Gorge. It was a really pretty gorge, with a cascading waterfall.
Our friends that we have been travelling with since the start of the Gibb travel much faster than us so we were surprised to find them at the roadhouse before the Bell Gorge turnoff when we got there yesterday. It turned out that they had been heading into the campsite and came across a mudhole that they didn’t think was a good idea to take the caravans through. After driving through it today, we agree it was a good decision.
Anyway, we sat and tossed up options for a while about where to stay before we decided to head to a free camp down the road. Fortunately, they missed the turn on the way and by the time we caught up to them had discovered a lookout further up the road that was just stunning!! And so, we found ourselves parked up for the night with this stunning view over the Leopold Ranges – one of the best campsites we have had!!
