Munurru to Mt Barrnett

 We left Munurru heading for Mt Barrnett Station which is home to Manning Gorge. We stopped for another quick swim in the Gibb river .

Maya too!

The road was a dream no bumps we even got up to 90km per hour! We arrived at Mt Barrnett Road house and got our pass for the camp. The camp is about 5kms further down on the Station. Picked a site  round the back away from the busy. The next morning we got ready for our day at Manning falls. The only way to the walking track was a swim across the river which was beautiful . There were half barrels to put your stuff in so you could float it across which was a hoot. The walk in is about 2 kms so 4 kms for the round trip. The Gorge and water falls are fantastic. There is plenty of rocks to jump off. Lots of fish to see. We climbed to the top of the falls and swam around up there for a bit. Then Maya and Nash decided to take the leap of faith from almost the top of falls. My Mum had travelled to Manning years ago and she said it was a favorite of hers and we can see why. They advise you to leave the Gorge before 3.30 as its gets dark early and there are not many sign posts and it would be easy to get lost. So we spent the day, left at 3.30. The best thing about Manning is that there is a swim at both ends of the walk. 

Nash and Maya make the climb to the 6 meter jump!

Bombs away

There were some fields of flowers on the track and also people had been making Cairns  I dont know how they lifted the rock
