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 ...

Got us a car and drove for four hours into the outback (ish) there wasn't much around though. Went for a walk to Geike Gorge which was 'gorgeous'! Stayed at a campsite in Fitzroy Crossing then headed back to Broome next day. There's only so much of the Kimberley you can see with a 2 wheel drive vehicle and we couldn't afford 4WD. Also their wet ...

We drove to Fitzroy Crossing today and checked into the Fitzroy River Lodge. A great park next to a river called the Fitzroy River. What a surprise.We decided to check out the famous Geiki Gorge but it was too hot to feel comfortable on the afternoon boat trip so we are leaving that for tomorrow morning. A few preparatory cans of VB put us in th...

We left Broome at about 10am and headed for Fitzroy Crossing (about 390km drive). We had approx 20km left til we reached Fitzroy Crossing we had a blow out - our left back tyre expired and went pop!!! I am just glad that it was Stuart who was driving at the time... we didn't swerve or have any 'oh my god' moments as the bloody thing just, popped...

Yesterday pm we went to the Crocodile Farm here in Broome, mainly because James recommended it as it looked old and tatty from the outside. It was well worth it, had a guded tour at feeding time. some of the males were 7metres long and moved like lightening when food was near. Cheryl got to hold a 2 year old one and has the photo to prove it. Al...

We arrived in Fitzroy Crossing in the late afternoon, checked into the sensational Fitzroy Crossing Lodge and had a good old pub meal and beer. At night it got pretty cold, and our little walk around the Lodge was cut short and we sought warmer residence in our room.

1-2 May - Crossing the Kimberly We reluctantly packed up our camp in Broome early so that we could drive out along the Tourist Loop of the Gibb River Road to take in Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek. We called main roads before departing to check the road was open as the remainder of the Gibb was closed east of Lennard River. We drove into Windja...

Nach einer endlos langen Mietwagenuebernahme (fast zwei Stunden wegen eines Knorrlis, der erst seit sieben Wochen den Compi bedienen kann) sind wir stolze Benutzer eines echten Offroaders. Vor einem regelrechten Rush mit Vorraete einkaufen fuer 14 Tage (zwei volle australische Einkaufswagen voll, 146 Artikel, 437 Dollar) und dem 406 km auf dem H...

Drove from Broome to Fitzroy Crossing, which is on the edge of the Kimberley national park. At this latitude there are two seasons - wet and dry and dur...
