We have towed our
Kimberley up the top of DHI twice. The island tracks are rough slow going, from the barge to the top was about 4+ hrs from memory. Withnell and
Turtle Bay are both good spots.
Dampier can be a bit dodgy with trailers. Any of the west side camps are OK. We havn't driven from east to west across the middle of the island but rangers did tell us a few years ago that they didn't advise towing across there so maybe worth asking the
homestead for an update. As already stated you dont want to be driving back and forth to the
Homestead, waste of time and fuel. Make sure you do your fuel calculations, we averaged 18.8 L/100 and 20.6 L/100 towing with a 100 series TD. For reference we average about 14.2 on the hwy. I did read somewhere recently that the
homestead would sell pre-arranged fuel but at $4.40 so worth taking as many Jerry cans as you can fit.
Its a great place, shame its so hard to get bookings these days.
