We were back on the wonderful Gibb (barra-enhanced euphoria) stopping at a few more gorges for a swim and a couple of over-nighters, including Drysdale Station which is some 60km up the Kalumburu Road, man was that a crap road. Diesel, the aboriginal legend that got us the mullet bait at Home Valley, had warned us about the road and we thought we'd go that far and make our mind up. We took no convincing at all that this was as far as we wanted to go, and spent a ...

Take 2 of the Gibb River Road, 4 good tyres and our confidence pumped up a little we hit the dirt, only to find the corrugations and rocks even worse than the bit we'd already done. Home Valley was the next stop, which is another working cattle station bordering the Pentecost River and some enormous amount of land to their name. The camp site was back from the river with a spectacular view of the Cockburn Ranges, with shelters to set up camp under so that you c...

After the many horror stories we heard at the van park in Kununurra about this little dirt track, we were finally hit the Gibb River Road. Only a short drive to El Questro, some 50kms of rocky, corrugated road we arrived to discover a puncture in the back right tyre, and it rapidly deflating. Tried to plug it but the rip was a little big, thought we'd better change over the other rear tyre as well, as the tread was looking a little depleted. And lucky we did as t...

We slept in on our first morning in WA, or so we thought until we looked at our watch - it was only 6.30am! The time zone change has certainly had an impact on us. Leaving Kununurra, we'd packed up and were on the road by 8.30am, absolutely unheard of for us! We headed south to Purnululu (aka Bungle Bungles), and after travelling on a rather bumpy road, which took us over 2 hours to go 50km, we arrived. We grabbed a campsite, and we were half-way through setting...

After a few days re-stocking in Darwin, we hit the open road again - WA was calling! We stayed a night at Katherine Gorge and one at a place called Big Horse Creek (aka Big Boab Campground - there were heaps of them). Got to the WA border, passing through the quarantine inspection and surrendering our fruit and veg, plus our honey. We wound the clocks back 90 minutes, took our mandatory border photo, and ventured in to WA. The scenery is becoming quite spectac...
