Perth to Darwin via GRR

Personally, I would go with a rooftop bed/tent.
Quicker and more convenient. Bed stays made up.
Above the crocs too :)

Have a look at our blogs for 2008 when we last did the GRR. Why not take the camper? The road is good enough for a camper.

I've done the Gibb with and without trailer as per blogs. If no trailer, I would reccomend that a roof top tent would be the way to go.

You should find something amongst this lot of blogs. Trailer adventures were 2006.

Gibb River Road - The Kimberley

Hi ksav

We didn't do the adventure routes like Peter and Margaret, but took our off road caravan through including to Kalumburu. No problems with security leaving it for unsuitable access tracks. Plenty of people were tenting leaving on road caravans at Broome or Kununurra.

You can check my 2008 blogs if by now you are not all blogged out. This trip was the best of the best, and i would recommend the Kimberley with a trip through the GRR, as well as including Geikie Gorge from Fitzroy Crossing, and Purnululu. Which ever way you choose to camp - don't miss it.

If you're going to sleep on the ground with an air bed, make sure you take enough shadecloth to fold into several layers underneath the mattress to stop the prickles getting through.

In fact, shadecloth is a terrific addition to any camping situation as the dirt falls through, spilt drinks and rain wash through, and it makes the whole experience a lot better.

I have used an air bed on a few trips and they are a pain and can be very cold.
I swapped for a foam self inflating mattress and never looked back.
I did the GRR in 2007 with my wife and we used a tent all the way. Only stayed in caravan parks on 2 occasions and because we did not need a powered site we could get in without any trouble.
