The Kimberley thats where!

Already ticked off being part of the First Across The Desert trip in mid March. Head off to the Cape from Cairns on the 1 August.... Can 't wait :)

Hi Wheretonext,

We (husband and I) are headed to Mungo, Kinchega and Mutawintji N Pks in Western NSW then up to Corner Country and beyond...Innamincka and places in Queensland not yet determined.
I have been reading explorers journals and studying maps and other books for months...and can't wait to see the amazing country in the interior again.
Taking camera, drawing materials, hiking boots...
This route is dependant on weather and road conditions as we are towing a van.
Hope to be away around 8 weeks but not leaving for a while yet.

Enjoy your trip to the Kimberly...it's a part of Australia we have not yet seen...maybe next year.

Regards,

Heather

Hi,
Talking about seasonal travalling,we are looking at our first real out back trip.
Thinking about heading out to Cameron Corner.Probably in september/October
(school holidays).Can you advise if this time of year is ok to do this trip?

Hi Wheretonext,

Hubbie and I have been planning our trip up the centre, Darwin, Kimberley, up to Cape Leveque and then down the west coast, cross the Nullabor and finally back home to Vic. Have 4 months to complete. Counting down the days. Might see you up there.

Cheers
Steven and Kerry

Cecily and I are heading off to the Kimberley with my brother and sister-in-law on Tuesday week not many sleeps now!

After a conference at the Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden (great place) in mid August we will head for the Painted Desert, north of Coober Pedy for a good look. Then maybe down the Ood Track and up the Strz T to have another look at Innamincka (we loved it so much last July but had to get out in case the track closed) then perhaps Corner Country and Mutawintji.

Hoping for a good summer to spend a week or so at the beach after last (non)summer.

Happy travels everyone.

G'dayW2N,

We're off for the gulf for three and a half months leaving beginning of August. Polishing the fishing gear as I type. Planning a fairly direct drive to Darwin and a liesurely trip via the gulf back to Cairns stopping all stops

Kind regards

Like you guys we are heading that way in July for 4 weeks. We are having a get together tonight, to get excited and start planning.We have been talking about it for a few months so now down to the planning and organising he he.

Catch you on the track

Cheers Marion

29 July we head off with another two couples.

Leave the NSW Central Coast and head to Hungerford. Through Thargomindah to Noccundra Pub. Up to Boulia by Bedourie or Diamantina NP. Cross the Plenty to The Alice. Restock and cross the Gary Junction Rd and Kidson Track to 80 Mile Beach the Barnhill Station.

Visit Broome, through Cape Leveque, Derby and a few weeks on the Gibb River Road, including Kalumburu. Up to Wyndham and Kununurra and head down the Tanami Hwy back to Alice.

Still not 100% sure what we do from there to Birdsville but we have options.

After Birdsville we'll spend a week dawdling back home so we can go back to work.

Can't wait.

Steve

Envious of all of you
Noothing planned this year.....RATS !

Next year it's the Anne Beadell, (East to West) the Connie Sue, the Gary, and back thru Alice.

Hi Wheretonext

This one will make you laugh, for our big trip this year we're heading to Melbourne. Wife and kids have never been there and for the past five years we've done remote outback trips each year. Planning to spend a couple of weeks driving down from Qld. Should be nice and quiet as everybody else will be heading North.

Any tips on a good caravan park on a train or tram line to the City. I couldn't face driving in all that city traffic.

Hi we are also getting ready to go from NQ, Innisfail then NT then the Gibb River Road in WA, cant wait 3 days till we leave. Driving our Toyota Hilux and towing our Jayco Eagle camper trailer. Hope all goes well, Normanton first night, Adele's Grove is our second night, that;s as far as I have planned, got 3 months to do it. Might see you on the road somewhere!
