Gibb River Road May - June

We did the Tanami on our last trip. I loved it but there is a line on the road at the border. NT side is corrugated, the WA side was car destroying. I lost a large stone defecting flap off my car along with the exhaust.... I laughed. Seriously. But I just drove a lot slower to the conditions and loved that part of the trip. What is your rig Cruiser 91 might catch up with ya. We are leaving Adelaide 15/4. Your thoughts on the Kimberley is pretty much what I'm thinking.

Doing it solo in a white 100 series towing a off road van, still in the process of finding the right van though. Starting from the Fleurieu Pen, heading straight to Alice - Broome - Kimberleys - Darwin - Kakadu - Maybe the Simpson on the way back down. No time table and at a slow pace. Might take me 2 weeks just to get to Broome. I'll keep an eye out for a 200 with SA plates.

Cruiser - we are heading same direction around same time from Adelaide - up to Coober Pedy then west out along Anne Beadell and Connie Sue Highways before hitting Alice and Tanami, GRR then Broome. White troopcarrier. Should be on UHF 27. NSW Plates and fairly distinctive build.

Awesome Troopy,
i'm now leaving the 23rd of this month doing a lazy trip up to Alice via the Oodnadatta Track. May spend a few days exploring Alice before crossing the Tanami.
SA plated white 100 series towing a Tvan Canning, green rubbish bag on the Tvan spare.
Hope to see you out there.

OMG OBJ I was trying to find her details because I used her information the last time I did it but I could remember her details. She is brilliant. Thanks heaps

The wet last year was above average with delayed opening of Winjana gorge. Way things going so far reckon they will have another average wet year 2 cyclones down another tropical low over NT with a predicted 5 cyclones to cross coast this year

Came across the mountain bike ride on day they set off from derby back in 2014 caravan park full of swags etc woke up 7am following morning and they were all gone !

Couldn't find the exact dates they running this year but certainly road on western end was smooth as, can't say same as eastern part few weeks later - had to go via bitumen after suffering a flat and didn't like my chances of 2nd flat no way to repair them properly apart from temporary plugs.

Gibb Bike Challenge:11-18th May

Thanks DeanK3 and Crusier91. Yes the rain is unbelievable and I suspect there will be a delay based on what is happening at the moment. Thanks for the dates of the bike challenge, I tried to find it but couldn't. Thanks again

The ,,in a hurry is exactly right , asked some morons to check their speed on the cb I copped some abuse. then they came flying past like idiots Result one completely smashed windscreen. that was the end of April last year There would have been less cars on the princes highway, than the gibb river road,,everywhere packed in like sardines.. PS the savanna way was great The road to Windjammer was opened the day before I travelled
