Fitzroy Crossing Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Well I know it's been a few days but we have finally left Broome, after a very restful and enjoyable 15 days. We did all the tourist things, swim at Cable Beach, ride our bicycles, shop in town,visit a pearl shop, take a trip to the Wildlife farm and of course, ride the Camels on Cable Beach. It all has been pretty fantastic, but unfortunately w...

Today we did the trip from Broome to Fitzroy - approx 400km. The weather has been wam but not too bad although the last couple of nights have been warm in the van and jez has got up to put the aircon on to sleep. Hopefully a little cooler tonight and won't need to as it's pretty noisy. Denzel did a lot of squealing again in the car which didn't ...

Day 43. Fitzroy Crossing, Western Australia. 260km from Derby. We arrived in Fitzroy Crossing around 11.30am and were pleasantly surprised! The town is a lot bigger than I thought it would be (I assumed a roadhouse and not much else). We checked into our caravan park and had lunch before getting ready to head out to Geiki Gorge. The national par...

Can you see the theme yet? We drove 500km to the next town after a quick detour to something called 'China Wall'. Some dude in the swimming pool had told us about it. Again, paining our way down a dirt track, we eventually found this mystifying tourist attraction. It really is just a ridge of quartz in the sandstone that looks like a wall. Incre...

We headed from Purnululu National Park towards Fitzroy Crossing. We stopped for fuel at Hall's Creek. The only toilet in town was a special "self-cleaning" number, as all the others were backed up. Without going into too much detail, you had a time limit to do what you had to do, as an alarm could sound at any time alerting the occupant to evacu...

To those of you who wondered, our last day in Broome was quite fun - updating this blog, catching up on emails, getting a huge grocery shop done and then all afternoon until just after sunset on Cable Beach. Photo here is the typical one you see all around Broome - Camels in the sunset at Cable Beach. As we left Broome, we quickly nipped around ...

Fitzroy Crossing The road to Fitzroy Crossing took me past the Windjana Gorge National Park and the Geikie Gorge, however, both access roads were closed due to the wet season. From about 70km from Fitzroy Crossing, the road was lined with boab trees, although only appeared every now and then. These trees were quite spectacular and really the onl...

A 5am start after a dreadful night sleep saw me topping up the scooter before returning it, by pumping petrol into the oil filler. My excuse was that I had not yet had caffeine. The tour "bus" arrived before I could get coffee and we met our driver/ guide Adrian. We drove out to Cable Beach to pick up the rest of the crowd - 14 passengers in all...

Kurz vor Derby befindet sich der Boab Prison Tree. Dieser Flaschenbaum hat einen Umfang von 14 m und frueher wurden dort Leute eingesperrt. Ausser einer schoenen Schlucht "Grotto" und noch dem Jetty wo es von Salzkrokodilen wimmelt, hat Derby nicht viel mehr zu bieten und so entschlossen wir uns, noch bis Fitzroy Crossing zu fahren. Seit kurz vo...

FITZROY CROSSING (15-17 October 2006) Today, Fitzroy Crossing is a small settlement that services local stations and acts as a stopover destination for those exploring the rugged Kimberley and its nearby attractions of Geikie Gorge. The current townsite has expanded recently due to mining operations 80km southeast, the growth of Aboriginal commu...
