Gibb River Road

The Gibb River Road was initially constructed as a beef road to transport cattle from the surrounding stations to the ports of Derby and Wyndham. It spans some six-hundred and seventy kilometres from Derby to the junction of the Great Northern Highway between Wyndham and Kununurra.

On passing through a gap in the Napier Range, the majesty of the King Leopold Ranges comes into view. The road winds and twists its way through this magnificent area of sheer cliffs and water holes.

The Kimberley Region experiences two seasons being the dry and wet (green season). Access to the Gibb River is not recommended during the wet or green season due to flooding. The recommended time to travel on this road is between April and November.
