Hi Stu,
You have sensibly allowed yourselves plenty of time to do the GRR. My suggestion would be to avoid planning your itinerary too tightly so that you can be flexible and respond to prevailing conditions when you are actually there. eg if you find that the boys are getting a bit tired of driving long distances it might be better to stay longer at a
gorge where they can swim and run around. Or you may not be able to get a
campsite at one place (can happen) so need to move on to the next area etc.
You dont seem to have either Mornington or Windjana on your list? Mornington has some lovely swimming spots and nice walks. Windjana with its freshies is great for walking along
the gorge and getting up very close to the crocs (dont let the kids pat them tho).
While we havent been to Kalumbaru, the road up to the
Mitchell Plateau can be rough (especially the drive to the Michell Falls) but the Falls and the KER crossing and
camping area are great
places with opportunities for swimming and seeing some wonderful aboriginal art. The boys would, I'm sure enjoy exploring
the rock outcrops and making their own art discoveries.
However you go, have a wonderful trip.
Cheers,
Val
