5 DAYS & counting!!

Phil ,
I might see you up in the Kimberley at the begiinig of May .I will be heading off mid April for an excursion west of Alice , then up the Tanami . After The Kimberley we are going south and then east through the Gibson Desert . That's the plan anyway . Just look out for a midget squirrel that likes undressing in public !
Have a safe and interesting trip ,
Willie .

Hi Phil. We are doing some of the same trip, leaving the Gold Coast on 9th May. I'd love to go earlier, but have an Army reunion with guys I haven't seen for about 100 years over the long weekend before that.

We are going out via Innimincka, CC, Birdsville (side trip into the Simpson) then up via Mt Isa and across to Broome. Will be in Broome, Cape Leveque and Middle Lagoon for about 2 weeks from 5th June.

Heading back via GRR, Mitchell Plateau, Kalumburu, Darwin, Litchfield, Kakadu, Gulf Road, Lawn Hill, etc etc.

Plan is about 15 or 16 weeks, but like you I'm a bit worried the wife will get a bit keen for home once we hit the QLD border on the way back.

I've got the Hilux and CT, but no tinnie unfortunately. Wanted to take one, but couldn't get the mods done to the CT in time. So this trip is a recce for the next one.

Only bookings we have made are Broome, Cape Leveque and Middle Lagoon. I've got our route pretty much planned, but the timing is very flexible.

Happy to exchange mobile phone numbers via PM if we are likely to cross paths. We are with friends for a fair bit of the trip over, but once we leave Broome on the way back we are traveling alone.

I leave Cairns about the 7th April. Travel down to Flinders Ranges, Kangaroo Island, Perth and South West corner then up West Coast to Broome, Cape Leveque, GRR, Darwin, Lawn Hill, Karumba, back to Cairns over 2 months. White 100 Series rego 50-AOK say hello if you see us. UHF 40. Cheers Rob

I am just drooling. Hanging out for a trip. Last time we stayed in Broome we camped at the caravan park behind Cable Beach Resort. Site # BBQ 1 from memory. Stayed 3 weeks and this site and ones around are under lovely shady trees, close to the loo's and pool. Recommend it. Have a great trip and keep safe all of you.
