when the open road Gibb River Road. The wet season begins in December and lasts
until May, during which Mitchell Plateau area falls almost the entire volume of
average annual rainfall, the level of which reaches up to 1600 mm. Torrential
rains turn the river into a flood, which often overflow their banks and
