Galvans Gorge

A small gorge right beside the Gibb River Road. A 10-minute walk brings you to a waterfall, a round rock pool and a boab tree guarding the water.

Galvans Gorge is the easiest gorge to reach on the Gibb River Road. The car park is right beside the road, and a gentle trail of about 800 m leads to the gorge. A waterfall drops from the cliff into an almost circular rock pool, with a boab tree standing on the clifftop above. The cliffs also bear Wandjina Aboriginal rock art. A rope swing hangs over the pool, making it a top choice for cooling off on the road. There is no campground, and visits are for daytime only. Entry is free, and a visit takes 30–60 minutes.
