Book Direct with the Owner at The Gibb River Road with Accommodation NT in Broome, for all your Attraction and travel needs.
One epic four-wheel-drive adventure through one of the last true wilderness areas on earth.
The Gibb River Road is one of Australia's most unique four-wheel-drive challenges. This legendary 660-kilometre stock route was originally built for droving cattle to Wyndham or Derby. Today, it’s an epic adventure exploring the Kimberley’s magnificent gorges, authentic outback cattle stations, ancient Aboriginal culture and captivating pioneering history.
Please note;
- The Gibb River Road is accessible between May and October only. Roads are often closed due to flooding between September and May (the wet season).
- An adventure such as this requires drivers to take necessary precautions to ensure a safe journey. Some experience of driving on un-sealed roads is recommended.
- Your vehicle should be properly equipped with at least; two spare tyres; water and emergency provisions; a comprehensive tool, puncture repair and first aid kit; gas cooking equipment; sunscreen and insect repellent. In the event of a breakdown, stay with your vehicle – it is easier to find than an individual. There is also the option of hiring a vehicle and travelling in the safety of a small convoy led by an expert guide.
- Between Kununurra and Derby, there is only one place to buy fuel and basic food supplies – Mount Barnett Roadhouse, so make sure you stock up. If you need tyre and minor mechanical repairs, head to Over the Range Tyre and Mechanical Repairs.
- Beware of salt water crocodiles inhabiting river estuaries such as the Durack and Pentecost....
