travelling along the Fitzroy river

The better camp area is about 20k before you get to the river. From Broome the T/O is to a sand quarry and you can see the track as it is almost straight ahead on the left.

A gate is not far in off the road, go through that and follow the track till you come to the sand piles along the river, plenty of camp sites to choose from.

Good Barra fishing at times, but watch out for crocs.

T/o Cords. 17o 40' 32.9" S, 123o 28' 47.2" E. The crossing there is called Langey Crossing and all you can still see the remains of the old bridge.

Hi Richard.

We've tried 3 times to get from Noonkenbah to the Crossing and totally failed. The first time we finished up east of FC via the near desert; the other two times we couldn't find our way thru the track maze east of Noonkenbah.

On making later enquiries, the helpful people at FC tourism were very confident that it was either Aboriginal business only or permissions would have to be got from pastoralists, which they said they weren't confident we'd get. I'll prob try again when I get some more time.

On the other hand, the tracks between Camballin to Noonkenbah are open and easy, and filled with POI's around the old Camballin project; the barrage at Fitzroy weir is not to be missed.

See image for a plot from Willare to NKB, and back nth to the hwy.



Cheers.

Hi Richard, you could try Ron Moon's book - The Kimberley, available here at Ex Oz. It has a detailed section on what you are asking about, pages 165 to 172.............. W

Hi Richard

Suggest get a copy of Birdit-Bradtke's Kimberley guide www.kimberleyaustralia.com
it was a real bible for our trip last year.
