gibb rivr rd

Hi Kman
I don't know the condition of this road at the moment, but the condition of the roads will depend on when it was last graded.
Our experience last year in a 4WD was that this section of road from Winjana Gorge to Tunnell Creek was very badly corrugated - in fact it was worse than the GRR & of > 3,000 of dirt roads we did last yr.
This road traverses through limestone country, so we had to drop our speed further in those sections where the stones were potentially sharper. (tyre pressure was already reduced)
We changed our plans of taking our off road van to Fitzroy Crossing via this road after finding the road condition so bad.

I'm sorry that this is probably not what you wanted to hear, but others on this forum may have better info for you if they've recently been along there.

cheers
Sue

You should be able to do it from the perspective of there being no creek crossings or any other obstacles that require a 4WD. The road condition when we drove that same route was varied.

From Derby to Windjana Gorge turn off the Gibb River Rd is sealed for quite a way. The unsealed parts were quite smooth back when we drove there in August 2010 so you should get more up to date info on road conditions when you plan to head out.

From the turn off to Windjana Gorge, the road was appallingly corrugated with sharp stones the size of a cricket ball lying loose on the surface. No need for 4WD but I'd be taking it carefully with on road tyres.

The road from Windjana Gorge to Tunnel creek was worse, but I saw some of 2WD utes doing the trip without any problems. Just take care and use the correct tyre pressure. Light truck tyres would be something to consider for that sort of road.
