We had an easy drive from Silent Grove to Windjana NP campground, when we arrived it was very crowded and we had set up in the noisy generator area, cannot understand why people need generators for camping. Like Silent Grove they had solar showers and flushing toilets, if you like showers in the morning like I do they are going to be cold as the solar heaters don't work at night.
The next morning we headed out to Tunnel Creek, this is a 750 meter long tunnel with a creek running through it, we had to wade through the creek up to about knee height to get through it, the tunnel is wide with large pools and has some stalactites in it, I did not take my SLR camera in there but wish I did as the waterproof camera is hopeless in poor light.
In the afternoon we took a short walk from the campground into Windjana Gorge, the path took us through a narrow tunnel to a shady path with cliff overhang along side the creek, further along it opens up to a wider area where we walked down to the waters edge and were amazed by how many freshwater crocodiles there were, standing in one place I counted 17 crocks then walked further and there were more, it was so interesting looking at the crocks I was not even paying any attention to the great sight of the gorge itself.
That night it clouded over and was looking like it was going to rain, we had not seen a forecast in over a week so had no idea what the weather was going to do, fortunately it held out for us to pack up and leave the next morning, we spoke to some people in Broome a couple of days later that got caught in the rain at Windjana and they had slept in their car because all the camping gear got saturated.
