We will spend our first night under the stars at our campsite located at Silent Grove.

Day Two (B, L, D)

On this day we get a chance to visit some of the gorges throughout the area, including trips to Manning, Galvans and Bell Gorges. Each gorge is unique and beautiful, however gorge visits will solely depend on water levels at the time of the trip. To conclude a day of walking and swimming amongst the beauty of these gorges, we make our way to our 2nd overnight location, Mount Elizabeth Station.
