  The Kimberley & Gibb River Road The Kimberley region is known for its massive sandstone gorges and waterfalls. There are essentially two roads through the Kimberley region - we took the more northern Gibb River Road.  (A lot of people do a big loop trip along both roads, finishing at the same place they started from, but that obviously wasn't going to work for us.)  The Gibb is a gravel road and has a reputation as being very rough, but I think it's more of a marketing problem - if it was a 'Track' instead of a 'Road', people wouldn't take their caravans and they would rave about how good the ‘Track’ was! Near Kunnanurra we drove to a place called Secret Spring - it's not actually much of a secret (everyone knows about it) but there's a few water crossings along to way to keep the caravans away. It was pretty nice when we got there.  There were 3 pools - this was the bottom one. Along the Gibb there were heaps of gorges and water holes to swim
