Hi everyone greetings from the GRR,. Here is our video featuring Mt Hart Station (situated in the King Leapold Ranges) ,50km inland off the
Gibb River Road. A worthwhile visit for those looking for some respite from the corrugations, dust and tourist traffic. We visited a week ago and water levels were low, so best to see early in the season. The standout
gorge is the Dolerite. The
campground is shady, good amenities, swimming in the nearby creek and a bar/restaurant at the
homestead. A top spot, even though it might not have the big-ticket attractions.
Cheers,
Mike and Kendra

He wasn’t there a couple of weeks ago when we visited, but heard he could be going back there soon

I’m surprised the water levels are low. We were there only just before you and two attractions were still closed as water levels were too high. Did you visit Yellowman
Gorge or cross Annie Creek? Mt Hart had a phenomenal wet season rainfall this year with nearly 2 metres recorded - more than most stations along the Gibb.

Surprised as
well! Completed the Gibb and the water levels everywhere have dropped significantly. Yellow man was closed but don’t know why. Can see that there was lots of washouts and erosion. Annie’s creek very low not much for swimming purposes. Same at Mornington - massive fainfall but levels have dropped quickly.
