Broome to Kununurra?

Good questions Stephen.

I think the priority will be some sort of temporary bridge at Fitzroy Crossing. And then a new one years away.

The WA Main Roads site says there is major damage west of Willare which is expected to take three weeks or so for temporary repairs. And reconstruction will follow.

Same site says there's no access to the Gibb to survey damage at moment.

A lot of people plan their Kimberly trip years in advance. Not looking good this year.

Before the new bridge was built in 1974 there was a concrete crossing only accessible in the dry.
A new crossing will be built after the river subsides; a new bridge will take a long time.

Talking to a mate from near Toowoomba, Dave, who went to the Alice for Christmas. On the return journey, he arrived at Barkly Homestead soon after the big fall, which flooded all the campground. Barkly H’way closed for an indefinite period & no accommodation. All the flooded campers had moved into the rooms!

He headed off back through the Alice, PA, Broken Hill etc back home. Funny, he was in a Nissan too!

Time spent anywhere north of Kalgoorlie is time well spent Bob no matter what your driving.
I'm into detecting so spend time around Halls Creek/ Marble Bar etc. Top country.
Be interesting to see where some of the Croc's end up. :)
Dave.

I reckon a Mazda would do it too! Hahaha

Probably doable.
But time would no doubt be a factor. Not to mention vehicle prep and organising supplies for remote travel at short notice.
Someone will no doubt be along in a bit to tell us they packed some sandwiches and went via the CSR and was home in three days.
In a Nissan.
LOL.
