All, we're doing the
Gibb River Rd (and others) again in a trip this June and from Bells
Gorge (Silent Grove) we were thinking about taking a detour down the track/road (can't see a name) just north/east of the (
Gibb River Airstrip through to Pentecost Downs (Karunjie??). We'd probably
camp there the night and then head north up the Karunjie track, back onto the
Gibb River Rd (meets up just east of the
Gibb River Rd and Durack
River Crossing).
I'm really struggling to find any usefull information on this section of road, conditions, what to see, what to be aware of etc and would appreciate anyones advice and thoughts. I can see that there is the Scotty-Salmond
Gorge along the first stretch so that'd be something to look out for but all advice appreciated.
Cheers Tony

I would say the best bet would be to ring
Ellenbrae Station and ask what the go is. They would have the best idea i'd say.
My guess is that the road no longer exists.
It would definitely not be a day trip thats for sure. Most of the tracks around that way can turn to nothing in as little as 2 years. With the past 2 wets we have had, and with no
grader running across them, alot of tracks now no longer exist.
