Kimberley Part 3- Manning Falls | Galvans Gorge | Mt Elizabeth Station

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Join Dee & Ant as we explore the central GRR and surrounds. In this episode, we visit our two favourite gorges on the Gibb- Manning and Galvans. These beauties are on either side of Mt Barnett Roadhouse and are visually the most stunning spots. Both sites have hidden indigenous artworks from thousands of years ago. After an epic hike into Manning Falls, that includes swimming across a cold river, we spent the day just soaking in the absolute beauty of this place. We then set course for Mount Elizabeth Station. This awesome active cattle farm is owned by the Burton Family and offers something very different on the GRR. We even got to sit and have dinner with the owners and learn more about the current state of the Kimberley and what their plans are to keep this place family owned. We venture to Warla Gorge after catching up with some very old friends and after a lost tyre, a few beers and a challenging 4x4 in/out, we had a great day. Check out the beautiful photography throughout this video!
In this video, Ant cooks up a storm using products from our friends at @LastingHarvest . This small Aussie family business make a huge range of dehydrated vegetable products that are simply awesome for travelling remote as we do. They last for months, they save a heap of weight on the road and are actually really delicious and good for you!

Thanks for the shout-out guys it was a tough walk out. Looking at the video looking across from that level platform where the sandy bit is across the creek I fell a bit further down into the gorge.
Great video guys. You are inspirational. Thanks or the generous tips and tricks for traveling the Gibb, your knowledge and experiences are helping us to plan our trip of WA soon. Safe travels.
@@cbw009 thank you! We are just putting the finishing touches on the last Kimberley vid. We already miss the region and can’t wait to go back!
Awesome video Ant & Dee, you've both come a long way with your videos. Love them and following your travels. Thanks
@@fourbysolo thank you! Hopefully that means they were ok, but now super awesome….. honestly, Dee works so hard on the videos, I think she does an awesome job
@@empty_nestadventures definitely super awesome and yes Dee does a great job
Yay.....more Ants Kitchen Nightmares ! Noodle soup with dimmies...mmmmm. Mate I can see an Ant's Kitchen Nightmares Camper Cookbook on the way. Another great video peeps. Have fun and stay safe. 😂😂😂
@@craigstrath9819 now a cookbook is a great idea! Thanks for all your ongoing support and positive vibes
Talking of art...I hope you went to King Edward River "Bradshaw paintings"
Hi guys I’ve been watching for a while now and always wondered where Dee’s nickname comes from - loving your Gibb river section it’s on my bucket list
@@jimmyintel Dee’s 20 year career has been in OH&S, so every situation is approached with a 100 point safety check! So a bit like an old grandmother, so Mavis it became. It’s evolved to Mavo or Mavi and just stuck…
@@empty_nestadventures thanks for that I always wondered
All now on our To Do list with our Commander 🦊
@@tonyfoxd4868 you’re going to love it mate. Make sure you book dinner at Mt Elizabeth in advance
A very special episode indeed. Half way thru the episode I was thinking about the indigenous people and what they would think about their land being a tourist destination and then at the end of your episode, I'm now questioning whether I should basically avoid the tourist crowds and enjoy these station stays.
Manning is great. Worth the hike.
Believe it or not Galvin's was one of the places we were told "not to bother going to" on our first Gibb trip.
Lucky we didn't listen.
@@briangill4000 seriously! It isn’t the hard walk in, but I think it is by far the most spiritual and naturally beautiful spots! Great when you get there early
Wow, imintji has improved heaps. Good find.
@@briangill4000 yeah it was a great spot for a quiet camp…. Except for the road trains!
One of my favourite things is to dehydrate mushrooms when they are cheap. Then grind them to a powder. They last forever and a few tbl spoons full in a stew is amazing.
We have had minus temps in the Kimberley 🥶🥶
Great video guys and your lamb casserole looked pretty great too Chef Ant😋
@@michelleroberts9721 thanks Michelle, I do my best!
Great episode ... One day....
@@Accolades70 just need a good plan and some courage to take the first step!
Depends what you call cold we will be -4 deg over night to a high of 5 deg
Loved this one. Places and Mavos photography awesome. Loved the bird photography. Got two things out of this. 1/ No vid of you watching the Origin! Must have gone badly😢. SA guy so no issue for me. 2/ A woman who can fix your pipes is invaluable! Cheers Peter.
Great video, as usual and thanks for sharing. Do you ever see any semi-off road vans out on the Gibb River Road??
@@robertarmbruster5650 hi mate. We did see a couple. Wait until you see the next instalment though as the road got a lot worse and I have no idea how they made it through. (We saw several on the back of tow trucks)
It's nice to respect their art but that is a 2 way street and I've travelled extensively in our country to know that is a one way street, the indigenous dont think much of us at all, you can tell by the 53% of land claims and locking people out of places we have been allowed to visit for years, but enjoy your trip while you can access those places, anyway good vid you two keep travelling, cheers 👍
Another enjoyable episode with good quality content, the flat tyre and having only one spare makes me nervous. So good to learn that Australians are buying back properties that should never have been sold to foreign companies/ investors. There is another situation like this in Tassie, where the locals are funding another buy back from China.. those politicians of ours sold us out long ago, and bloody Morrison sold off the “farm” ( a lot of Corporations) during his tenure, but we know there all as tarnished as one another.. Andrews sold off 20% of Victorian Maritime Port to China, the largest import export Port of Australia, and Palaszczuk was no better in QLD allowing dodgy deals. Sorry for the rant.. love our Country so much and you show it off so beautifully.
@@highvibe4839 thanks and I totally agree! We need to make sure our future generations can love it like us!
Absolutely Agree. 😊
We love watching your videos. Can I please ask what nickname you call Dee? Hubby and I are debating Maeve or Maebo? In previous videos, we thought it was Matey. 😊
@@kerryfairless7985 we’re glad you love them! So I started to call Dee- Mavis. Her 20 year career was in OH&S, so she analyses every situation with a mental 100 point safety check! So I thought she was like as old grandmother, so Mavis it was. It’s kind of evolved to Mavi, or Mavo…. She’s had a lot of nicknames over the years but old Mavo has just stuck!
@@empty_nestadventures I love it 🤣
Oh, And thank you for awesome Sunday viewing… Beats Netflix by far… Reality TV at its best… “Like Driving On The Moon” and “My Pipe Needs Some Attention” lmao 🦊
@@tonyfoxd4868 lol, no harm in asking for a pipe check 🤭
Have you been to Parry,s lagoon near Wyndham?
@@briangill4000 we were planning to go there on the way back off the GRR, but the first grandchild gave some indications that he was coming early, so we got back from Kununurra to Brisbane in 4 days! But will just have to go back!
@@empty_nestadventures definitely!
No doubt you've done 5 rivers lookout at Wyndam??
TOO many people skip Wyndham.
@empty_nestadventures. Awesome. Our first is 3 months old.!
What bumper do you have on the mazda? Looking for similar for my dmax. TIA.
@@shanewalker2257 hi mate. Both front and rear bars are from Off-Road Animal. The front is a ‘Predator’ bar with a hoop and integrated light bars . I’d probably go for the ‘Toro’ variant for a bit more side protection, but wasn’t available when I built the car. Have hit a few things and it been great. I’d also recommend upgrading your bashplates. I went for custom off-road plates. 4mm at the front and 3mm underneath
@@empty_nestadventures Thanks bloke, was mot expecting such a quick reply but certainly appreciate it. Mrs and i love your vids, we are chipping sway at setting up our van and ute leaving on lap in 3yrs. Seems a long way off but doing west vic and part of sa between now and then. Thanks again.
