Manning Gorge, Galvans Gorge, Adcock Gorge and Donkey Pools,
Charnley River Stations; Gibb River Road
We started the day with a leisurely
swim at the waterhole at Manning Gorge and wishing Evie (Turnbull) a happy 8th birthday. We filled up with fuel at Mt Barnett Roadhouse (@$2.05/L).

This afternoon we drove and walked to Donkey Pools which was a pretty lily pad covered waterhole where we all had a swim to cool down after our 39 degree day. https://trailswa.com.au/trails/donkey-pools-charnley-station-kimberley You know you are hot when you take off even your watch in an attempt to cool down. This afternoon we actually have a clear sky, with minimal build up, so maybe a cool night.
