Gibb River Road

The Kimberley`s iconic Gibb River Road is one of Australia`s classic four wheel drive adventures.

Stretching from Derby to Wyndham, it spans 670 kilometres across a timeless landscape of red rock, gorges, waterholes and massive cattle stations.

Accessible between May and October, the region is steeped in frontier history, Aboriginal culture and breathtaking natural wonders.

One of the best known natural attractions is Windjana Gorge, home to countless trilling birds and freshwater crocodiles, which are often spotted catching the sun`s rays on the riverbanks.

There are camp sites along the route, as well as station stay properties.

If you`re tackling the Gibb River Road there are some important safety guidelines to follow including carrying sufficient food and water, car repair tools and extra tyres. Check road conditions before departure by contacting the local Main Roads Department on phone + 61 89158 4333.

You can get the Gibb River Road from Derby, Wydnham, Broome and Kununurra.
