Emma Gorge
A classic hiking gorge in El Questro, ending in a cool, deep pool beneath a waterfall that drops from above, where swimming is allowed.
Emma Gorge is part of El Questro Wilderness Park. Its entrance is near the sealed section of the Gibb River Road, and regular cars can reach it. The trail is about 3.2 km round trip and takes 2–3 hours, with scrambling over rocks along the creek. At the end is a deep pool enclosed by towering cliffs, into which a slender waterfall drops from about 65 metres. The water is refreshing, and a small hot spring trickles in at one corner. The path is slippery and rocky, so wear non-slip shoes and carry plenty of drinking water.
