Trip/Gathering WA - Gibb River Road

Hi Bill, I could not find any reference of a Broome to kununurra 21-25 May. There is one in June. Where can I find details for 21-25 May. Cheers

My apologies folks,

The Gibb River Challenge this year starts from Derby and finishes at El Questro, but on the same dates I mentioned.

It is appropriate to know though as overnight accommodation along the route may be difficult with the multitude of rivers and support staff.

We were traveling the Gibb three years ago during the bike ride, but in the opposite direction. We passed the bulk of the riders between Drysdale River turnoff and Windjana Gorge and apart from the courteous slowing down as we passed the groups we had no problem with overnight camping. The riders appreciate you slowing for them and will acknowledge your thoughtfulness with a finger salute as you are creating quite a dust cloud on the unsealed surface
However, this year we will be traveling in the same direction and choose to be ahead of the Ride to avoid and sort of problems such as delays in passing.

Thanks Bill !
I've been caught up with them in the past...as much as they are champions, doing what they do, would rather avoid them. !

Hi Tony !
I'm lucky enough not to be time constrained...so it will depend on the group and if I do the Munja track. Approx 3 weeks at this stage.
cheers Mary Anne

Hi Mary-Anne, you may like to check further as the Munja Track is often not open until July. It's also advisable to travel it in a group in case you're thinking of travelling solo.
