Have spoken today to the lass in the Kununura
Information Centre. (We ae currently in town)
The
Gibb River Road is in top condition having just been graded where necessary, after the wet season.
The Pentacost River is at about 400mm which will be a doodle for our trip along the GRR starting Monday.
So now is a great time to be traveling the road and there is only about 3 thousand or so other travelers in town at present.
Plenty or
grey nomads about but most of them have rigs that will stick to the bitumen, so the only problem we may have is getting a site at
Broome at the end of our journey.
Have been looking forward to this part of our holiday and everything looks to be turned on to please us "southerners"
The temperature is in the low to mid 30's wth relatively high humidity.
We used up too much room bringing along coats, jumpers and dooners which we are unlikely to need:-)

Just arrived in
Kununurra yesterday after spending a couple of very enjoyable weeks travelling the GRR from
Derby.
Graders working but a few sections still a bit rough. The
Kalumburu road still closed beyond the
Mitchell Falls turnoff but open to the Falls. We opted for a flight from Drysdale. Thoroughly enjoyable and worth the money.
Neville, the guy at Over The Range Tyres patched a couple of holes that we punched on a
gorge exploration side trip. Good bloke, very helpful.
Watch out for the
Gibb River Racing team driving their 4WD tourist coaches.
Cheers
Pop
