Day 44 – Manning Gorge, Gibb River Road, WA

Saturday, July 02, 2011
Manning Gorge, Western Australia, Australia
Continued our venture heading to Manning Gorge, (Mt Barnett Roadhouse). Fuelled up, paid for accommodation and had lunch before setting up.

Once setup we walked to Manning Gorge, approximately a 45min walk in and then back out again . Firstly crossing a river to get across (we could have walked around but needed to cool off) we met up with a group of some girls and guy Kirsty, Jodie, Ryan and Sarah where once we got to falls Kirsty not too keen on water so she walked around to Falls with Bill, whilst Jayde swam with the others, and myself behind. Once at falls there were some boys jumping off the falls, Ryan, Sarah and William had a go then they talked Jodie into it, so I thought why not. Jayde then seeing how cool Mum was wanted to try and finally after following Dad in jumped in also.

Met up with John, the teacher with the boys from Shore College in Sydney on our way back from Falls and had nice discussion on the one month trip 11 boys were doing and where we had been and going.

Once back to go back across the river Jayde met up with Melissa and Kim and swam with them for a while. After tea the girls came and played games with Jayde, whilst we sat around talking with Becky.
