And so it is! ‘Inimjti’ means ‘a place to lie down’, very apt name for a bush campground. The campground and nearby Community Store are owned by the Ngarinyin people. The store stocks a small range of groceries (the only place on the Gibb other than the Mt Barnett RH) and manages the nearby Inimjti campground.

It is a very pleasant stopover point on the grasslands below the imposing King Leopold Range. An early European explorer ‘called’ the range ‘King Leopold’ after the then King of Belgium, who was very supportive of exploration. The Leopolds are now referred to as the Wunaamin Miluwindi Ranges, I have seen it the other way round too and Miluwindi spelt with an ‘i’ instead of a ‘u’.

It is interesting how one writes about place names these days. It seems that it is more culturally appropriate to say that the European explorers ‘called’ places something rather than ‘named’ them, of course we now understand they already had an indigenous name.

After we had set up camp we did indeed take some time out and sat down in the awning shade for the afternoon, plotting the next days activities. Dinner also called and we tucked into a piece of beef from our time in Kununurra marinated in peppercorn sauce. Homealone knocked up some potato fritters to go with it, all very tasty.

Next morning we were off to Bell Gorge and the iconic falls, now ‘Dalmanyi’. It is in a Conservation Park and we had intended to stay there in the Silent Grove campground.

‘Silent Grove’ was the name of a pastoral outstation, it is now known as ‘Dalundi’. But the late rains caught us out time wise making the road in problematic any earlier. So we stayed at Inimjti instead and went to the gorge without the van.

As it was the 29km track was a bit wet here and there and the creek crossings deserving of care. We made it ok!

The top of the gorge waterfall is about an 800m walk from the car park. A relatively easy stroll down to a dry creek bed and then along it until the top of the falls is reached.

An amazing place and easy to see why it makes great pictures for magazines and TV shows. Like Mitchell Falls there is oodles of water flowing over the top.

The track getting down to the plunge pool at the bottom is a little more difficult. Allthego passes it up for some time sitting on the rocks looking at the whole scene before heading back to the car where Homealone patiently waited.

We retraced the park access track back to the Gibb and then returned to the Inimjti campsite. No worries, it is always a little more comfortable going over old ground. You have been there and done it before.

Next morning we packed up for the journey further down the Gibb and then off on a side track to Wandjana National Park. Or is it called /named something else now?
