CAPE LEVEQUE ROAD CONDITION

Was there 2 weeks ago. Top 2/3's could only be described as very rough with dozens of washouts (dangerous as they're very hard to see until you're on top of them). They were grading the bottom 1/3 as we were returning to Broome, this part was very good (smooth) but sandy - which is great compaired to the corrugations of the top 2/3's. I can only assume that the grading has been completed in the last two weeks, so the trip should be good now.

I just booked into the resort at Cape Leveque and was informed that the rood had been graded, was in excellent condition and it was 3.5 hour drive from Broome. I'll find out how right they were later in the week. Cheers.

if you're coming from, or going to, Derby try the back road as noted in the Moon's Kimberley Adventurers Guide. a bit sandy in parts, but definitely less corruguations.

!MPG:12!

I was there last week and the road is rough but drivable. One section is smooth as, hard gravel packed. . They were grading while we were driving up (Hired a standard Landcruiser). Even graded its not that good, lots of soft sand holes and ruts.

We stayed at Cable Beach Resort for our 20th Wedding Anniversary and just went up for the day. Long day and we would have loved to stay at least overnight but definately 3-4 days.

Also saw a few "Soft Roaders" such as X-Trails etc.

Saw a few tent trailer style campers but no vans. It took us 2 1/2 hours driving at max 80 k and sometimes 50-60 k. Worth the trip as it was fantastic. We went to One Arm Point and wouldn't bother doing that again. Middle Lagoon was sensational as was Lombadina and the Cape itself (Kooljaman)

Sorry mate. I saw the Trailers at Middle Lagoon, didn't see any at Kooljaman.

Cheers
