Day Two – Gorge Walks, Crocodile Sightings & Tunnel Creek Treks

We kicked off the day leaving Birdwood Downs and made our way toward the Manjali Studio School, with some incredible stops along the way. Our first adventure took us to Windjana Gorge, where we were lucky enough to spot a freshwater crocodile in its natural habitat! From there, we journeyed to the stunning Tunnel Creek, where students waded through chest-high water in an underground cave system, an unforgettable experience.

Our arrival at Manjali Studio School was warmly welcomed with hot showers, air conditioned rooms, and a generous dinner. The evening was filled with basketball and games shared with the Manjali students, ending with lights out and a well earned night’s rest.

Day Three – Cultural Connections & Cave Explorations

We woke up feeling refreshed and started the day with a hearty breakfast, followed by some morning basketball, football, and foursquare with the Manjali students.

The highlight of the day was a trip to Mimbi Caves which was reached by travelling through Fitzroy Crossing. We were guided through the caves by Rose, a Bunuba Traditional Owner, who shared stories and insights into the area’s Aboriginal history and culture. At the end of the cave walk a hidden spring swim was enjoyed by many, with laughs and splashes echoing around us.

After the long drive back, everyone was more than ready for a classic Sunday roast dinner, followed by a relaxed evening of free time and fun, a perfect way to end our third day on tour.
