RV TRAVEL
I decided to head further north and onto the very quiet Surveyors Pool , and eventually up to Walsh Point where I was told the track down was pretty ordinary . Arriving at Surveyor ’ s Pool carpark , I saw I was the only one there and , the added bonus , there were no noisy choppers in the sky . With a 30- minute walk up the pool and falls , I was blown away by the gorgeous Kimberley scenery and it was hard to imagine this place in full flood . Laying in the cool water at the top of the falls for an hour , I heard the chatter of some visitors so I thought it would be a good time to leave .

Boabs at Walsh Point .
ALL QUIET AT WALSH POINT
The road further up to Walsh Point was rough , but not as severe as I was told back at Drysdale River Station . Before dropping down to the lower parts of Walsh , several lookouts gave the most breathtaking views across into the Admiralty Gulf waters . Dropping down the last section into Walsh Pool , I saw I was the only camper around , so it was straight to the premium area with stunning water views surrounded by old boab trees .
Now , apart from getting to this remote and isolated part of Western Australia , my plan was to hunt down a few barra and to enjoy the serenity after the visitor chaos back at Mitchell Falls . The sunsets were some of the best I had ever seen in the state , with beautiful boab trees as a backdrop , crocs and sharks cruising past camp at high tide , and yep , I caught several barra up to 700mm in length . Enough fish for a week .
