We are all being told to change our plans from driving the GRR to something else due to Ellie's massive damage in the area so I am trying to follow that advice but having a hard time figuring out how to do that. Could use some suggestions. We WERE to fly from MEL to Broome May 28, pick up 4x4 cab with tent on 29th in Broome and head out on GRR for 11 days, return via Hwy 1 back to Broome, then fly to Cairns. I booked several places, Silent Grove CG, Lake Argyle+cruise, etc. I can cancel all those except the plane ticket, I think I can change it, though? Deposit refund for truck was to happen by Feb 19, Broome rental company extended that another 30 days (so now 60 days prior to pick up) to allow more time to see what the repair assessment will be. I don't know if the rental can go to Dampier due to deep sand...but here's the thing. I am a hiker. My passion is hiking trails; through trees, meadows, gorges, canyon walls, summits, etc. That is why the GRR was attractive to me. This trip to AU is about the culture , wildlife and scenery. I love the beautiful oceans of Australia, but not the same scenery for 11 days like a beached whale, whether I drive north to Dampier or south to Perth in which I will now incur a drop fee. I will have already have explored the oceans from Sydney to Apostles, then up to the Grampians & back to MEL. Any suggestions out of Broome for 11 days, that might give me some different terrain? I don't mind a drop fee if that's what I have to do. It would be great if I could switch to a passenger car to absorb a drop fee as I have my own tent, so wouldn't need a truck with a tent top. But that would depend on if any alternate routes require a 4x4. Thie trip to do the GGR involves 2 already booked flights. Mel to Broome, then Broome to Cairns, not sure what flight changes will be allowed. I will check with airlines today...the flight booked from Broome to Cairns has connections in Perth and Brisbane. I need some advise, big time!

Is there much water in gorges along the Gibb? We've heard it's pretty dry at the moment due to low rainfall so tossing up whether we do it or not? Any info would be greatly appreciated

Is a motorhome ok for Gibb R road?

Hi all We are looking at doing the gibb river roadover 20 days in June/July 2018 driving up from Perth. I'm trying to find rough drive times between the sights and camp grounds along the gibb?

How far is road sealed from Derby? Could we take caravan to Windjana Gorge with SUV?

We have heard that Mt Elizabeth Station was recently sold and is now not open to travellers. We had intended to camp there in early July while driving Broome- Darwin. Does anyone have info on this?

Hi I'm travelling from Darwin to Broome along the Gibb river road with 19 travelling days and wanted to get some guidance. We will be focusing on the Gibb river road as much as we can. We are taking a 4WD with tent facilities. I have bought the Hema guide and have also looked through a few of the websites listed here previously. I will travel with my wife and two young children who will be 15 months and 3years and three months old. We will be travelling in August. A few Qs; 1. There appear to be 2 stores at which we can buy food along the GRR. Any suggestions for meals welcome. We cook from fresh most days here and are aware that this won't be the case. 2. Should I ask the hire company for a second spare tire? 3. We hope to stay at El Questro for 2 nights and also maybe another location for 2 nights so that we are not taking up and down the tent and more importantly not driving each day especially with the 2 small children. Any itinerary suggestions. (We will cut one night off the 19 for a stop between Darwin and Katherine somewhere as yet undecided. 4. Any must sees. Is the helicopter flight to Mitchell Falls a go-er? Will they take small children? 5. We have 4 nights in Broome at the end. 6. Driving: we have some off road experience. I am presuming that the rental company will explain/ show us a video of changing tire pressures/ etc. Maybe not??!! 7. Will it be typically very hot overnight in August? Should we book into bedded rooms in some spots where available along the way? 8. Practical mosquito bite avoidance. I have everything. Any useful additions to the usual armoury of spray and clothing? 9. Which are the best and safest swimming holes/ waterfalls etc. Any suggestions will be very helpful and most appreciated. If anyone has done this trip or parts of it with children write back and let us know how it went. I think we are lucky to have a relatively long time to do the trip in considering some people do it in 7 days. Cheers Will.

can i take my toyota kluger on this road with confidence

Hey, just wanted to know if you think we can do a good trip on Gibb river road with only 5-6 days? If so, which sites would you most recommend spending the time in?
