Travelling with a caravan?

Main Roads Western Australia put together some handy tips to help you take off on your road trip without a hitch!

✅ Check your caravan and vehicle prior to setting off to ensure the towing combination is secure, the electric plug operates correctly, the brakes and lights are working properly, and the tyre pressure is adequate.

✅ If you have loaded up your caravan, ensure that it is evenly distributed with heavier items placed closer to the axle.

✅ Remember that towing a caravan will impact the handling of your vehicle so allow extra room for stopping and turning.

✅ Stick to the speed limit! In WA the maximum speed you can travel while towing a caravan is 100 km/h.

El Questro

Although the road from Kununurra to El Questro is sealed, some of El Questro’s creeks, as well as the 2km gravel driveway and trails within the property, are unsuitable for 2WDs or low-clearance 4WDs. From Kununurra, El Questro Station is 110 kms west: 58 kms on the Great Northern Highway towards Wyndham, 36 kms on a sealed section of the Gibb River Road, with the remaining 16 kms on a gravel road. Most people end (or start) their Gibb River Road adventure at El Questro station.

Mitchell Falls

The magnificent Mitchell Falls, or Punamii-unpuu, are an iconic Kimberley landmark and a place of cultural and spiritual significance for the Wunambal people. The last sections of the track are not suitable for caravans. Mitchell Falls is located in the Mitchell River National Park, on the Mitchell Plateau. The track is narrow in parts. Book a day trip to the Mitchell Falls from Drysdale Station or store your caravan at Drysdale to drive to the Mitchell Falls and camp at either of the two campgrounds on the Mitchell Plateau.

It is best to allow two days to drive and have time to discover Mitchell Falls. You will need a visitor pass from Wunambal Gaambera Aboriginal Corporation to access the Mitchell Plateau.

The Kalumburu Road is 4WD only. Please be advised that the road may be closed and to check before planning your trip with a local visitor centre.

Persons wishing to obtain access to travel into or through Kalumburu and Honeymoon Bay, are to apply for this access directly through the community.
