Gibb River Rd...school holidays

We'll probably suffer the same fate - heading that way towards July. I've heard it gets busy in July and that camping spots fill early. Our son went mid July last year but found it a bit quieter as the effects of rain in June had kept people away.

We did it with 3 kids in July Holidays 2006. Not a problem anywhere. Getting around, getting a camp no probs.

Only trouble we had was getting a spot in the van parks at Kununurra, Broome and Derby. On the actual GRR it self the traffic thinned out. No issues at all.

You'll love it.

Hi, we did it last year and got rained of the GRR and still had a ball!
The trick with the main towns was to get there as early possible but the roadside camps were the best fun anyway. Enjoy!

This year it might not be the 'kid effect' that makes travelling 'difficult', BUT the 'fuel price effect'.

Shouldn't have any problems mate. Did this a few years ago in july and didn't have a problem. We thought exactly the same as you did. Some of the roadside camps were a little busy but only need to look around and its great. We found a little book with free campsites for north wa very useful got some great little sites out of that. Have fun!

we even ran into a grader grading a section of the gibb river road and he cleared a little site for us just off the gibb where he was camping.

Mt Barnett the other day: $2.10 per litre for Diesel, sorry didnt look at the petrol.
