DEEPEST Water Crossing in the UNIMOG at El Questro - Favourite Gorge in AUSTRALIA Pt. 5 (Eps.31)

This week we head to the iconic El Questro station, our last major stop on the Gibb. We cut our Gibb trip short because this place was closing and hope it won't disappoint us.
We started by taking the 25km of BITUMEN from the Pentecost river to the station. After getting rattled to bits on the Gibb you have no idea how nice it feels to be on Bitumen roads again.
Once at El Questro, which changed ownership a few years back from being a privately owned cattle station, to now being part of the G'Day Caravan Parks group, we went straight to Zebedee Springs. The water here is a comfortable 32 degrees Celsius all year and even though we only planned on being here for about an hour, we were still basking in the bathtub warm water when we were asked to leave as it was almost 12pm, which is when the private tours get Zebedee all to themselves.
So we packed up and headed over to Amalia gorge, a hot but very picturesque walk to a dried up waterfall. Not many people go here as they try and rush through all the main things at El Questro but this place has a nice cool waterhole at the end and if the waterfall was flowing would have been an absolute gem!
After checking in to the campground, we were told about a little swimming hole close by and we went to check it out.
The next day we took off for what we will call the highlight of our Gibb trip, El Questro Gorge. To get there you have to traverse a 1m deep water crossing, which the Mog made look easy (normal 4wds were drying out their footwells in the camping area for days). The gorge itself is absolutely stunning! It is hard to describe in words, so we will just let the raw experience (no music) soak in our video. It was one of our favorite spots in Australia!
The next morning we went to watch the sunrise at pigeon hole lookout and spotted a huge saltwater croc in the river below us. On our way back down in daylight, we realized how steep and rough the track up there actually was! Afterwards we also checked out Branco's Lookout. To get here you get close to the The Homestead, the luxurious side of El Questro (but also very expensive). The crossing of the Chamberlain river is very rocky and rough, but has a beautiful view. El Questro is closing for the season today, so we head back, take another quick swim in Zebedee Springs and head to the gate (which was locked haha). We ended up making it out and heading back to the Pentecost, where we will start our next adventure, the Karunjie Track!

PS: Please do some research before hitting the tracks, since they can change quickly and might be closed again!
