So we're heading off for our 2 month holiday/honeymoon up the coast of WA through Kalbarri, Carnarvon and Broome. We're then heading towards Derby and heading inland via the Gibb River Road and plan on checking out all the gorges etc. We'll also head to Mitchell Falls, Kalumbaru and Honeymoon Bay.

Then we're heading to El Questro, Kununnurra and Wyndham. We want to then cross the border and check out Keep River NP and a couple of days in Kakadu.

We'll then headback to Kununnurra and head south down the great northern to Halls Creek, the Bungle Bungles and Wolf Creek NP. My fiance (who'll be my wife when we're on the trip/honeymoon :)) wants to do some prospecting, so I know we need a miner's right/licence?

We'll then head back to the gorges via Fitzroy Crossing and then make our way home either back via the coast or the inland route.

I've already got my Annual All Parks Pass for WA, and know about the miner's right/licence, are there any other passes/permits I need to know about?

Thanks in advance :)

Jason.

ps, only 67 days to the wedding and 69 days to the honeymoon, WOOOHOOO!!!!

Gday
After 37 yrs with the same woman, it's hard to get excited about a wedding. Just look after yourselves and have a good time.

OK I will bite...lol

You will probably only need a permit for Kalumburu. Best to Google it.
Most National Parks in the Territory have an honesty box(or dishonesty box as I call it) for camping and entry fees. If you are going to Fossick in the Territory you will need a Fossickers Licence from the Dept of Mines in Darwin.

Jason,

You need a permit to visit Kalumburu and you can get this from www.dia.wa.gov.au
plus when you get to Kalumburu you have to get another permit from the offices at Kalumburu. We just asked at the Mission Store about what to do. The permit from the dia is free, the other cost $35.

You don't say if you're going to Cape Leveque etc from Broome. If you are then you should get a permit for the communities up there. You get this from the www.dia.wa.gov.au as well.

Best wishes for the wedding and the travels,

Viv

Good luck to you, what a honeymoon!

Advice #1 - don't forget that canvas is thin.
Advice #2 - at El Questro get a private camping area (and book a table at the restaurant)

some others :-

when you leave El Questro, you can head up to Wyndham via some tracks (either backtrack to go along the ranges, or turn off near King River). After Wyndham leave the tar and head off to Kununnurra via Parry Lagoons.

Also, its a long way to kakadu for couple of days. You may want to do Kakadu first and save(keep) Keep NP up your sleeve if you have time.

If staying at Katherine, go to Edith Falls.
