Hello again,
Continuing on from my last post
https://www.exploroz.com/forum/134695/exploring-arnhem-land
So the 3rd phase of our trip is taking us from
Darwin to
Broome and trying to come up with the best route to take.
We want to do
Gibb river road so we can visit
Mitchell Falls & all the stations along the way
But we also would like to visit Purnululu &
Fitzroy River
Is the GN hwy worth taking? We can possibly visit Purnululu and back track to Victoria hwy if there isn't much to see. is Wolfe Creek worth the round trip?
We've got around 3 weeks to do the trip.

Yes, do both the
Gibb River Road and the Great Northern Highway. Purnululu is a must, and
Geikie Gorge near
Fitzroy Crossing is also worth seeing (a boat rider up the
gorge is the only way and it is not costly). Two easy days on the highway as a double up.
Alternatively as we were continuing one, this is how we did it (travelling west to east). From the west we went to
Fitzroy Crossing and
Geikie Gorge, backtracking a little to take the Fairfield-Leopold Downs Road to see
Tunnel Creek and
Windjana Gorge, the joining the
Gibb River Road to continue north east. We then did a special trip to Purnululu for a few days, leaving our caravan where we were staying in
Kununurra.
