Day 16 Kununurra to El Questro
You didn't really think we would come all of this way and not do the Gibb! We woke up really early Sunday morning and got on the road quickly. We rode out to the start of the Gibb River Road and expected to be on a badly corrugated dirt straight up. The dirt lasted two kilometers before the bitumen started again. Apparently El Questro have slowly been bitumising the road out to the resort.

We mad Emma Gorge around 8:30am and ditched the riding gear for bathers and headed up the track to the gorge. It was a nice half hour walk but quite a challenging track. Well worth it though as the swimming hole at the top of the gorge is bliss. We had a nice swim and got out just as three bus loads of back packers turned up. One chick was asking where the cafe was, idiot! We then made a well timed departure.

We then got back on the bikes for a quick ride to El Questro. Absolutely stunning. We also had to make our first couple of creek crossing into the homestead, luckily the bikes just cruised through. We set up camp, had lunch, a swim, a snooze and then headed out for a cruise up the Chamberlain Gorge (including champers and fresh chilled fruit)

Once we got back we hit the happy hour at the bar before a romantic dinner for two at the restaurant. Rod was really worried we looked like a gay couple rather than two ruggered desert adventurers (hahahah)
