Adcock Gorge
A quiet gorge at the end of a rough four-wheel-drive spur off the Gibb River Road, with lily-pad-covered rock pools and a slender waterfall.
Adcock Gorge lies about 5 km down a rough four-wheel-drive spur off the Gibb River Road, so a high-clearance 4WD is needed. From the parking area it is only a few minutes' walk into the gorge, where deep pools covered with waterlilies are enclosed by red rock walls. Early in the dry season a waterfall spills down the cliff. Visitor numbers are noticeably lower than at Bell and Galvans gorges. Swimming is possible, but the rocks are slippery, so take care. It is a day-visit site with no campground, and makes a convenient stop between Manning Gorge and Bell Gorge.
