Hidden in the Wunaamin Miliwundi Ranges of the Kimberley, Dalmanyi (Bell Gorge) is one of the most rewarding “leave-the-bitumen” swims on the Gibb River Road. A wide cascade spills through U-shaped sandstone walls into a deep pool, framed by rust-red cliffs and broad rock shelves that are perfect for a long stop.

It feels remote and wild, yet it is one of the most inviting places to swim, picnic, and photograph on the legendary Gibb River Road. If you’re travelling in a Britz camper, you can base yourself at nearby Dulundi (Silent Grove), hit the gorge in the cool of the morning, and be back at camp for an easy afternoon reset.

Before you set off, check your Britz rental terms for permitted roads and always confirm current park access and road conditions. 

Carved through an ancient limestone reef that formed around 375 million years ago, Bandilngan (Windjana Gorge) National Park is a Kimberley icon that feels both timeless and alive. Towering limestone walls rise tens of metres, sheltering deep pools lined with figs, paperbarks and Leichhardt pines.

By day, you might hear flocks of corellas echoing between the walls, and by dusk, see fruit bats lift from the trees while freshwater crocodiles bask quietly along the water’s edge. For travellers exploring Western Australia by road, this is a place that rewards an unhurried visit, especially with the freedom and comfort of a Britz campervan.
