Gibb River Rd & Upper Barnett River Gorge Access [4.21km]
Junction,Intersection,Turn Off

Barnett River Gorge is a spectacular place to visit. The turnoff to Barnett River Gorge is marked 3km, however there are quite a few tracks, mostly winding, and no more signs to indicate which to take. If you are using digital mapping software, you will see the Barnett River runs pretty much parallel to the GRR. The gorge itself is to the right.

Important Notes

Whilst indicating location of water supplies, ExplorOz makes no recommendation with regard to the quality of water for drinking purposes. We strongly recommend that when travelling you take ample supplies of water from reliable drinking water sources.

4WD access over rocks in the final 1km leads directly to a boab tree at the head of the main trail to the Upper Barnett River Gorge. An hour's walk (follow cairns) is required along the top ridge of the plateau above the river to reach the only safe access leading down to the upper gorge.

Alternatively, for caravans and those without 4WD, the lower gorge is only a 500m walk from campsites.
