Gibb River Road

A journey along the Gibb River Road four wheel drive route is one of the last true outback adventures. Originally constructed in the 1960s to transport stock from surrounding cattle stations, it stretches some 660km from King Sound in Derby to Wyndham.

Travel on the Gibb River Road can be restricted during the wet season (around November to April). Flooding and road closures are common and access to the gorges is often limited or not possible. Sidetracks into Gorges are often closed even if the Gibb River Road is open. Please stay informed and obey the road closure notices.

Highlights include Windjana Gorge, Tunnel Creek, Lennard Gorge, Bell Gorge, Galvans Gorge, Manning Gorge, Drysdale River Station, Home Valley Station and El Questro Wilderness Park.

Mt Hart Wilderness Lodge – offering unique accommodation or camping 49km off the Gibb, Mt Hart historically was the first cattle station “over the range”. History as well as access to Mount Matthew and Annie Gorge is a great reason to detour off the Gibb.

Charnley River Station – originally known as “Beverley Springs”, it was the first property to accommodate tourists along the Gibb River Rd. Now managed by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy as a sanctuary with some area still set aside to run cattle. Camping is still available and access to some gorges on the property.

Galvans Gorge – a beautiful little gorge with easy access close to the Gibb River Rd. A delightful spot for a refreshing swim.
