Hi,
Your question interested me because I get the same question all the time regarding the
Gibb River and or
Kalumburu Roads.
A very important fact that most people seem to forget with all these
Kimberley dirt roads is just how much they can and do alter, not only during the course of the 'dry' season but also from section to section.
Hence if the road was graded in say early June you may have no problem doing any of them with most caravans or trailers BUT if after peak season use it hasn't been graded again by mid July you could do huge damage to a camper trailer covered with off road stickers.
I know this doesn't answer your question but the answer is in fact totally reliant on the road condition at the time of your trip.
Before anyone asks, sorry NO there is no way anyone including main roads or the Shire can or will tell you in advance when they will grade. They do it when the amount of traffic make enough corregations bad enough and enough people complain ! All jokes aside it also depends on their funds allocation for that road and if they have dollars to grade once or three times in a dry season.
Cheers, AnneDrysdale River Station
