Hi,
we are planning to do the
Gibb river road in the beginning of march,
is it likely for parts of the road to be closed ?

Hi Dan,
We left
Darwin about 2 weeks before
Easter in 1999 intending to do the GRR. Waited around in
Timber Creek, the Kunnanurra for a couple of weeks but GRR and Bungle Bungle access road all closed. In fact, there was heaps of water over the sections of the Great Northern Highway too. We were ringing the
ranger up that way every few days to see when the road would be open. Eventually we were told that even if it remained dry for awhile, the GRR will not be open until the authorities are convinced the wet season is over. Can't risk having people stranded on the GRR if there is late season rain.
In short, you chances of doing the GRR in early March are remote!
