Best time to go. A bit hot but you will find most of the creeks along the Gibb R Rd will still be flowing. Lota of good places to camp and almost zero traffic. The road will be a bit rough from the pentecost onwards as it will not have seen a grader from before the wet.

Enjoy yourself.

Jan & I are heading that way on Easter Monday. We will be spending a week or so with friends at Cape Keraudren and then on to Broome and GRR. We envy those who have time to spend getting there but I guess we should be so fortunate to spend a couiple of months in the Kimberley. Our first time, apart from a short trip to Broome a couple of years ago. 8 weeks and three days and counting......
Happy camping
