Gibb River Road
Originally constructed as a stock route, the Gibb River Road is becoming a very popular outback adventure for travellers. The mostly unsealed road winds its way through the heart of the amazing Kimberley. Be prepared for plenty of rock hopping hiking from carparks to spectacular waterfalls, gorges, enscarpments and unique rock formations. The Road is closed to the public during the wet season and it's best to plan from May to October. High clearance 4x4 vehicles are essential, as there are many water crossings that vary in depth (depending on weather conditions).
