Has anyone done the Dunbar crossing , we are thinking of going up to the Cape from
Normanton to Dunbar to Artemis, the question is the Dunbar crossing, a search does come up with a report that it has been concreted but a reply doubts it so I am not sure .........
what are the water levels like ????
Cheers ................
Clocked 5000klms today, left
Perth Monday last week and still going,
Cape York here we come.

well it went
well, really
well, the crossing is like a roll out plastic mesh stuff on a bed of rocks, it was about 1 foot deep at the most, a car could have done it, hard sand on either side, past Kooltah was a bit of track stuff with a detour or 2 but clearly marked and 2wd stuff, it then is some awesome wide graded and formed road, better than most gravel roads, a section in the middle was the "old" track but they are working in from both ends and will probally be complete this year ........
If I go back, and I will, I will allow enough time to
camp on the bank of the river for a few days, awesome spot and should be good fishing .......
Cheers

Great Joe,
Good to hear that it was OK.
Did you see anyone along the way and did you need permission to go through.
Hope everything goes
well for all of you.
Don't forget to visit the
Bamaga Bakery.
