Fitzroy Crossing Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Sometimes, the best pit stops on a trip are unplanned. That was certainly the case for The Amazon and I when we pulled up in the ****-end-of-nowhere town of Fitzroy Crossing to be treated like bonafide celebrities.
The Crossing Inn in Fitzroy is the oldest pub in the Kimberley. Booze is essentially banned throughout the region due to problem...

Fitzroy Crossing - Day 44 - 45

In summary:

Fitzroy Crossing itself is not a pretty place and we weren't expecting much - just somewhere to break up our journey. The campsite was nice though and a great place to access Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek which were both fantastic.

This was my first encounter with crocs in the wil...

15 August – The Kimberley Ranges

We are currently en-route to Broome – due there tomorrow.  I thought I would just recount a few things/thoughts about the Kimberley Ranges that we have noticed since we left Kununurra yesterday morning.

We left at 6am and it was already daylight of course as the days start much earlier h...

Today we took a quiet boat trip down the Fitzroy River, through Geikie Gorge. This gorge we could get to with Queenie, as its all sealed roads. The boat trip was lovely and very relaxing. We caught the 8am tour, so that the sun wouldn't be too hot and also we could catch the best light on the cliff faces. It was the same colour formations as at ...

G'Day to all,

We arrived in Fitzroy Crossing which is located on the banks of one of the largest rivers in Australia with a catchment of 90,000 square kilometres. Every year in the wet season the mighty Fitzroy River breaks its banks and floods the plains around Fitzroy Crossing and can reach a width of 25km. It is only second to the Amaz...

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...

Fitzroy Crossing, on the Fitzroy river (obviously)........I'm trying to think of something outstanding about Fitzroy Crossing, but nothing will come to mind! We did go on a river trip and saw heeps of freshwater crocs and plenty of wildlife. We were amazed to see the flood lines of the river particularly in 2002, you just can't imagine how big t...

Our next stop was Fitzroy Crossing. After tossing up between two caravan park we chose the cheaper of the two options. After checking in we realised that our camp site back onto the local pub (the equivalent of the last chance tavern in Hedland). To make matters worse it was Friday night. We were one of three other carvan on the site. After Bom ...

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...
