Midge,
Last time we were up that way a few years ago this was what we found:
Road from
Broome to
Barred Creek and
Coulomb Point is easy. Nice wide track although it can get pretty boggy after rain, but rest of the time pretty straightforward and very scenic from Barred Ck onwards.
There is free bush
camping at Barred Ck and Quondong Point, can't recall about Coulomb but tourist info centre in
Broome will be able to tell you. Main attraction at Barred Ck is the
fishing and crabbing. Quondong Point is very scenic with lovely beaches beneath volcanic rock shelf. The rock means you can't camp above the beach but if you move back about 300 metres to the tree-line there is good
camping with some shade.
Allan is correct about access from Coulomb to
Beagle Bay. It is restricted but if you contact
Beagle Bay you may be able to organise access which is what we did. However, due to minimal use we found this part of the track extremely overgrown and very narrow. After torturing the paintwork for a few km's, then walking ahead for another 500 metres or so, there was no sign of any improvement so we decided to give it a miss.
Hope this helps.
