My wife and our 4month old son are planning a trip to Alice then on to the top end in June we are also hoping to do the Gibb River road,we have a 2002 GU Patrol 3litreTD. My questions are:

1/ The standard Patrol suspension seems all right with the majority of trips that we have done but we have never really been on a heavily corrugated road for extended periods of time,we have been told that after a few hours the suspension softens off really bad and that we should be looking at aftermarket suspension before we go. TRUE/FALSE.

2/ How bad is the Gibb River road at that time of year, some people that i have spoken to reckon it is allright others are saying to avoid it unless i have a good supply of tyres,i just reckon some people have no sense of adventure.

3/ If we do the Gibb River road how long would it take us to go from Kununurra to Derby and if we do stop over night where is the best place to stay,we would need a room as we are not taking a tent or towing a van.

Any info would be greately appreciated.
