Roads

Refer to the tide chart before venturing north. North of Prices Point the road deteriorates with many tidal creeks and obscure tracks. Extreme caution and local knowledge is required and you must respect the land, culture and privacy of the local people. Beyond Broome, you should be self-sufficient with the essentials food, water, supplies, spares, emergency aids and fuel. You must be prepared!

Be sure of your routes and itinerary before you leave, and always check the weather forecasts. Drive with caution particularly in the hours between dusk and dawn. Drivers should travel in accordance with road conditions at all times.
