Katherine to Broome (Via The Gibb River Road)

The Victoria River District and Kimberley is a vast area, towns are few and far between. Our trip took us from Darwin through to Katherine where we would start the next part of our journey. We drove through Gregory National Park and got our first glimpse of the Katherine river.

 Instead of our planned route on sealed roads we decided to take the Gibb River Road which is nearly 700km of unsealed road, some parts much rougher than others. This leg of our journey was a total distance of 1750km

Total Distance: 1750km
