MySwag "2018 Ultimate Kimberley Adventure " Itineray.

[McGirr]

 Here is a rough Itineray for the trip.

As mentioned it's the ultimate trip so we have allowed plenty of time to explore the Kimberley. I understand not everyone will have the time off work to do this trip but can minimise some of the stays at places. In time it will be detailed a lot more but it gives everyone an indication of the places we will be going to.

We are allowing 10 to 12 weeks for the trip.

The Gibb River road is officially opened some time between mid April and mid May. This is when the graders move in to do the first of 3 grades. The peak tourist season (June-August) is when the corrugations get bad because of the amount of traffic and the second grade is down. Then the third grade is down at the end of the tourism season ready for the wet. The end of the tourist season is usually around the end of October most places close down. Any time after this is way too hot to be up there. Or so it tells me on the web

We went late August to September, busy but most grey nomads were moving on.
Still need to book especially in Broome, Middle and the Cape.

Will add this track to a day trip while camping at Elquestro.

[alnjan]

looks good

[Palmer]

Looks superb.
Unfortunately for us, we won't be able to get that amount of time to make it up there for it.

[McGirr]

Yes it's a fair amount of time and do expect a lot of people will not be able to do the whole trip but they are free to shorten the trip to suit.

We will probably be the reverse and only do the first week with you, after that we will be taking it very easy

McGurr    With all respect could l suggest   ,  possibly another plan    Having just returned from the area

Before you go into Kununurra  Do do at least an overnight at Zebra Rock Mine on the Duncan Rd  . The Sunset tour of the wetlands is to be on any Bucket List  . The fishing tour will chock up the fridge with fresh fish . Really well worth the time
