Gibb River Road Sealing

Most of the west and east ends mentioned have been bitumen for over a decade.
And NONE of the GRR is inaccessible to 2WD vehicles now.

Jim : you would be very disappointed ! Compared to those days , road has lost its charm .

We first traveled it in 2004 & don’t remember it being overly difficult Even went to Mitchell Fall & on to Port Warrender.
That section was a little tougher
We even came across a couple of backpackers in a Hyundai
Might be worse now due to the amount of traffic

Agree with PMK3 Paul, we did the GRR from East to West in 2004, including the Mitchell Falls area and Port Warrender. The last 2 kms down to Port Warrender took us over an hour as there were big washouts and deep ruts to contend with. When we got to the bottom we found a couple of Victorians camped down there.

One of the worst sections of road we have ever traveled on (apart from Port Warrender) was the entrance to El Questro. Even the Kalumburu Road was not as bad as the road into El Questro.

On that trip the GRR was more like a gravel highway, not too many corrugations, and not too many travellers either. We would have been there around June that year.

Macca.

How about that Macca ……
We were there in June too
May have crossed paths.
Yeah. I remember the washouts on the Port Warrender road. We actually turned back a couple of kms short as we were running out of light & all the camp gear was back at Mitchell Falls campground

This is the road into the Mitchell Falls in 1999.

That looks like the badly-eroded roads I sometimes come across. They help boost my fitness, as I have to park and walk to my goal. :)
