Next morning we went to Windjana Gorge, only about 500m from the campground. A different wider gorge, it was really stunning. A walk of about 90 minutes got you past a waterhole with about 70 freshwater crocodiles sunning themselves in the morning sun and to the roosting site of a large colony of fruit bats (or flying foxes) making a huge amount of noise. Really cool.
Walked back and decided to leave at lunch time to get to Derby.
Hit the first bit of tarmac not far from the campground and after stopping to re-inflate all the tyres we went on to Derby.
Finally reached phone reception about 10km out and got ourselves what seemed to be the last campsite in the only caravan park in Derby, although phone reception was really poor. Very amused to read on internet that grading of the entire Gibb River road is to commence in 2 days time!!!
