Galvan's Gorge is 286kms from Derby. Close to Mt Barnett,and shaped like a horseshoe the gorge has a picturesque waterfall that falls about 20m into a postcard perfect circular pool. Around the pool are ancient Aboriginal rock paintings, and trees jut out over the water making it a veritable playground for the adventurous to jump and swim.
At the top of the waterfall is a big fat boab tree. This gorge is easily accessible from the Gibb River Road and is approached from the carpark via a short walk along a lily clad creek.
It's the most easily accessible gorge on the Gibb River Road, so it's always busy.
This is one of the smaller Kimberley Gorges, similar in size to Adcock Gorge, but the pool is more than big and deep enough to swim a few laps. There is also a rope in one of the trees to swing on and jump and the falls are big enough to sit on the rocks underneath and get a back massage.
