Broome to Broome on the Gibb River Road on a self drive road trip in Australia
6 Days and 5 NightsDay 1 Broome to Fitzroy Crossing
Today�s destination is Fitzroy so make sure you take the turn just past the Willare Roadhouse. Carry on through the community of Fitzroy River. Fitzroy is steeped in history and a drive out to the old townsite and the Crossing Inn, built in 1897 will transport you back to harsher times.
Suggested overnight stay - Fitzroy River Lodge.

Day 2 Fitzroy Crossing to Halls Creek
You will find that the days start early in the Kimberley so after a hearty breakfast (own expense), drive the 20 kms out to Geike Gorge National Park and take the cruise through the gorge. The Lodge will gladly make the necessary reservation so you don�t miss the boat. Now backtrack to Fitzroy Crossing and head deeper into the Kimberley, heading for the old gold mining town of Halls Creek, gateway to the Bungle Bungle National Park . On arrival in Halls Creek, before going to the Kimberley Hotel, stop at the Tourist Center and book your time for tomorrow�s helicopter flight to the Bungle Bungles (included).
Suggested overnight stay - Kimberley Hotel, Hall�s Creek.

Day 3 Halls Creek, Bungle Bungle to El-Questro
The drive to Turkey Creek where the helicopters are based is approximately 1.5 hours from Halls Creek. Should you attempt to drive into the Bungles, there are no facilities, fuel and although the sign says it is only 53kms, it is a rough road imaginable. The flight around and over these eerie domes will be something that will stay with you forever. Continue north into the heart of the Carr Boyd Range and follow the signs for the Gibb River Road. Once you have reached the dirt road you are now officially on the famous Gibb River Road. Tonight�s destination is the Emma Gorge complex of the award winning El Questro Wilderness Park.
Suggested overnight stay - El Questro, Emma Gorge.

Day 4 El-Questro to Charnley River Station
Today�s journey is 4WD at its best. There are river crossings, most notable the Pentecost and Gibb.
All are clearly marked and the simple rule is take your time. There are several roadhouses such as Jack�s Waterhole, Ellenbrae and Mt Barnett to get morning tea, lunch as well as stock up on snacks.
Charnley River Station Station is a fully operational cattle station running 15,000 head of cattle and is an ideal base to visit the numerous gorges in the area. You will enjoy the shady verandah of the historic old homestead after the day�s drive.
Suggested overnight stay - Charnley River Station.

Day 5 Charnley River Station to Derby
Deep in the heart of the Kimberley, the region is blessed with numerous other spectacular gorges. From the Gibb River Road make sure you visit at least Adcock Gorge, Silent Grove and Bell Gorge, all housed in the King Leopold Range National Park . Another must-do is to visit Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek. You will see freshwater crocodiles sunning themselves on the riverbank. Before you know it, you are back on sealed road and into civilization. A long hot shower may wash off the dust but it won�t erase the memory or sense of accomplishment as you have now completed what others only dream about.
Overnight - King Sound Resort, Derby.

Day 6 Derby to Broome
The luxury of a sleep-in this morning! Have a walk around Derby and soak up some of the local history. Derby is also home to the world famous Royal Flying Doctor Service and which welcomes visitors at specific times. The infamous Prison Boab Tree is located on the outskirts of Derby towards Broome and worth a stop to appreciate how lucky we are today.
Notes:
Fatigue causes many crashes in Australia.
When driving long distances, stop and rest every 1-2 hours.
Try to have someone sit beside you to keep you company driving as our NT roads can be long and straight. (But not distract you)
Alcohol and driving don�t mix.
The blood alcohol level is 0.05.
Seat belts and child restraints must be worn by all vehicle occupants.
Always carry a copy of your driver�s license in English.
Take plenty of water on all outback trips;
Check distances and driving conditions; and ensure you have adequate petrol at all times.
Remember, rule �Number 1� in the Outback: if your car breaks down you MUST stay with your vehicle for safety reasons.
Don�t drive after dark.
Parks & Wildlife Commission Northern Territory provides information on Camping, National Parks, and Permits.
Ensure you are informed re the safety of swimming in the �Top End� � many areas are not safe to swim due to crocodiles.

Australia 4 Wheel Drive RentalsWhy Travel Around Australia
Our senses of sight and sound are flooded every day by film and TV. Though if you take a real holiday especially along the coast or the great Australian outback then your other senses of smell and touch will come alive as well. Let a Darwin sunset on Mindil Beach warm up your senses to smelling the pristine outback wilderness of the remote outback Kimberley. When you travel in Australia folks don't just gaze but look and you will see amazing Australian flora and fauna. If you're a family, couple or friends you will create memories most likely from the small things that you experience on the trip such as a butterfly sitting on your cup of tea whilst you're at a roadside stop on the Banks of the Ord River.
We see and hear every day travel is a experience actually it's an achievement - like to catch sunset at very minute the sun touch the oceans horizon from the viewing points along the Great Ocean Road.
Plan your holiday so you travel like never before and interact with fellow like minded adventure travellers, the locals and their cultures.
Catch a fish then both of you take a selfie and give your finned friend a new lease on life and throw it back.
Taste real fusion Aussie/Asian cuisine or just great fish and chips the Aussie way.
If Marg and Rob have to have a motto then it would be 'plan well, travel at your own leisure and enjoy the little things Australia has to offer you'.
