Duncan Rd

Just back from three days doing a loop from Kununurra down to Halls Creek round the Duncan Rd and back to Kununurra.
Had a look in at the China wall,Caroline Pool,Old Halls Creek,Sawpit gorge & Palm Springs.Met up with some EO members at Caroline Pool(re-post down abit) where we camped for a night.
This was the first real trip with the Tambo camper on the rough /dusty stuff and came through pretty good.We still havent got a rear window protector for the Cruiser and the amount of rocks thrown about I was on tender hooks the whole trip.The deflector on the front of the trailer did a great job,the rubber flaps under the deflector were nearly worn through from rocks but trailer came through unmarked.We had one rock bounce across the roof and down the windscreen to land on the windscreen wiper(about the size of a golf ball),phew that one was lucky.We had a bit of dust enter across the top of the tail gate but I believe most of this came in when we opened up the tail gate.
The condition of the road was great but was to worried to go above 60kph as the rocks flew more.A few corrigations,fair bit of bull dust and great scenery.One minute your in spinafex country,turn the corner and its open cattle country then slowly closes in back to light scrub.
Great spot to camp on the banks of the Negri river amongst the trees,bird life is spectacular.Heading down to the causeway we encountered the biggest section of bull dust Ive ever driven through.It just exploded out the back of the 4WD and layed about an inch thick on the camper which just so happened we were setting up in 30 seconds time.
SO anyone wondering about a differant route to travell between Halls Creek and Kununurra,this is a great drive.Actually any drive off the bitumen is a great drive.
Cruiser returned 13.88l/100km towing loaded trailer,parents petrol cruiser returned about the same unloaded but just to put a dampner on the trip blew (and destroyed) a tyre just after we hit the bitumen on our way back to Kununurra.
