  • Day four on The Gibb and we are waking up at Manning Gorge Campground, we dedicate the day to exploring Manning Gorge, which was unreal! The walk was pretty gnarly in our books but doable!

    Thanks for one of the best videos showing the trek into Manning. Literally LOL with the shimmy on that big drop rock, echoing wifey last year. Not to mention the initial crossing... Awesome memories, thanks!!!

    Thank you ! Really enjoy watching your adventures. Especially as it is so cold and dark in Perth right now. It is the highlight of my day to see what you got up to each night. My husband and I did the Gibb last year so so much fun to relive all the camp spots and the glorious gorges!

    Thanks heaps you brought back some really great memories
    My father and i used to live in manning George back in 1996 for close to a year i was only 14 with cerebral palsy 😂😂
    Manning George made me tough
    mainly caught what I needed to eat and bought the rest at the road house
    Camping was only $2.50 a night under 14 free only had a pit toilet
    Walked for days and hundreds of kilometres from the start all the way to end of manning creek
    It was different back then I only seen a few people in the whole nine months
    I can believe how popular it is and it is good to see people still enjoying themselves and I hope it brings you a lifetime of happy memories ❤

    Queenslander, go you good thing!🎉
    Awh, Leah, you made us laugh. You nearly got kissed on the arse by those huge fish. 😂
    TJ, man, hats off to you for lugging Freddie around! Mate, you would've dropped 5kg on that walk.😂
    Glad you guys had the best day enjoying the Gorge.😉
    Atm in Albany WA, cold, wet & windy 🥶, so loving these videos in front of the heater.
    We loved Home Valley camping by the river watching locals fishing & the sunsets! Can't believe there's so many people along the Gibb! 😵‍💫
    Stay safe!❤🍻

    You were talking about the fish and I wondered whether the water is fresh or salty. Because on yesterday's video I think it was, you also talked about the crocs so I assumed that water was salty. But looks amazing country and even if nothing else it is a fine place to swim and shake off the dirt road.
