We are on our way to the Kimberleys
After a couple of months of preparation we are on our way.
I am typing this in a cabin in Gilgandra.$40 a double with linen, ensuite, tea making HEATING etc. ( Akropolis Cafe and accommodation.Siiiick mate) I would pick the worst day of the year to leave Sydney.11 degrees and blowing and raining ain't fun in a camper. We planned to free camp in Mendooran, and buy dinner, but everything in the town was closed! LOL. Tomorrow to Macquarie Marsh, then to Queensland to Hungerford, Boulia,Plenty to Alice and Tanami. The old RRC seems to be happy with my work. So far so good and what looks like good fuel economy up the hilly Golden Highway into a raging gale. Regards Philip A

Good on you. Please take heaps of photos and share them when you return.
The Kimberleys are a most magnificent place of Australia. Have a safe and enjoyable trip - the weather will get warmer once you head north out of the Alice. Cheers, Erich & Sheila

I was once reprimanded for calling it the Kimberleys....but I won't unleash that treatment here...
 Wife friend has just come back and I am pretty jealous. I am told it is the most amazing place. Have a great time and yeah, plenty of pics.

Hi Andy. I don't know how familiar you are with the drive up to Derby but I really enjoy the inland route on the way up, Cue, Paynes Find, Newman, Marble Bar and the short cut over the De Gray(?) past the old Goldsworthy site and back on the main road south of Pardoo. I have collected some GPS points of quiet out of the way unofficial (free) campsites. Some of them aren't too flash, just little tracks off the road to a clump of trees etc. I'll get you a list of them because when you're at a about 4pm and you are starting to look for a place to stop, these at least will give you something to check out and you can make up your own mind.
