One of the last attractions on the Gibb River Road (heading west to east) is El Questro station. It’s a very commercial ‘bush experience’ - there’s a restaurant, a bar, manicured grounds, very high-end accomodation (along with the camping), tour groups galore, horse-back tours, helicopter flights, the works. But in spite of all this (and the expense), the landscape and natural attractions are magic. Zebede Springs, a cascading series of hot pools fed by a thermal spring, under a stunning orange sandstone wall and surrounded by palms and ferns, was alone worth the price of admission. And the other gorges are pretty spectacular too.
