I haven't been along the length of the Gibb River Road [just a short
section to the Cockburn Range].  It does have a bit of reputation for
being an axle/suspension-breaking road under certain conditions, so you would need to get local advice before setting out.

Regards, Laurie.

When we were in Broome 2004 we met this delightful Belgium family.  Frieder was about 12 then and he became our very good friend, he was a keen birder with young quick eyes.  We have remained in contact and below is the last email I received.

I have not been on the Gibb River Road, I would recommend Parry Lagoon , I also remember a caravan Park at Derby where birds abound.  Timber Creek and where else.  I will see if Ricky Couglan's blog are still available but if anyone has more detail please forward it to me    

 

Hello,



My parents and I are planning to visit the Broome observatory again. We've been there 2 years ago.

We'll arrive at 29th of June. We think to stay one week and then head
for cape Leveque for 1 week and return for another week in the
observatory.(maybe u can join us ...)

Later we will take the Gibb River road and discover nature (&
birds+wildlife) along the gorges. Via Kununurra we'll travel to Darwin

And .... you've been to a special bay around Wyndham with a lot of
birds and stuff.

Can u give us some information about it and maybe some secret spots ^.^

From 3 aug we'll arrive in Cairns Queensland for two dive trips and in
between visit the lush environment of Atherton Tableland. This time we
intend to spend more then a week over there. Any tips aside from King
Fisher lodge? Is Port Douglas interesting for birds?

A lot of questions but I'm sure you can help us out.



See you



Frieder...
