El Questro splits opinion: a Kimberley icon, or an overpriced tourist trap? We gave it three full days of gorges, hikes and sunsets to find out.

Rain that pinned us down, gorges running harder than we'd ever seen, and the mighty Pentecost crossing. Our early season run down the eastern half of the Gibb.

After more than two months on the road, we finally made it to the Gibb River Road. Over our first stretch we took on Windjana Gorge just a day after it reopened, walked the full length of Tunnel Creek, pushed deep into Mount Hart on 50 kilometres of rough, flooded track, and swam at Adcock Gorge before the rain caught up with us. Here's the lot from the start of one of Australia's most iconic 4WD adventures.
