Black Grasswren & Red-legged Crake trip

[L&L Knight <>]

I think you'd be looking at 6-7 days of driving to get to both Whim Ck  
and Mitchell Falls, Carl.  Yes, you will need to have a 4WD to get to a  
place where you have a good chance of seeing BGWs.  I don't think you  
can get 4WDs with unlimited kilometres in Broome, so you could be  
looking at vehicle costs of ~ $2000.
Regards, Laurie.
