- Is the Pentecost Crossing on the Gibb River Road a Caravan stopper ?
Well it can be if the track is chewed up from a Road Train a few weeks earlier watch to find out.
We watched cars with campers and vans cross for quite some time, many got stuck. We lowered our tyre pressures and thought we could cross but we were wrong, we were lucky that there was a nice man by the name of Fraser who could give us a tug out, it was an experience ! Oh and dont forget the river does have Salt Water Crocodiles for added excitement !
Good on Fraser, very enterprising! Watching those wading in knee-deep water and some with dogs, and wondering if they realise it's Saltie paradise! Went through there some years ago in a Unimog when the river was still flowing, impossible to see depth/obstacles/etc and at one time the 'Mog almost tipped over when the wheels dropped off the edge. About a dozen (or more) Salties watching, but more would have been lurking. Fraser wasn't around back then!
There had been a lot of rain so we saw no saltys, I flew the drone up and down the river and saw none but they could have been there. I think if we had stuck to the right we may have hot through but I was worried about falling off the track
Wow
I'm due there start of august I hope the roads fixed or Fraser is still working
Hi we actually travelled the Gibb last year, I've just been really slack at processing my video, I'm more of a photographer lol. Anyway check the conditions I'm sure that Kununurra Info centre or El Questro can let you know, I don't think it is usually too bad depending on recent rain fall 👌
It can really change from one day to the next. We went through and it was a piece of cake. A couple of days before a truck got stuck and dug huge holes that everyone was falling in to. You just have to pull up and make an assessment,
Yeah Andrew that's what happened to us, we watched people crossing and thought we could get through, you live and you learn that's for sure 👌
@@uhaggar yeah it wouldn't be much of a trip if it all went perfectly eh?!
@andrewford80 yeah that's true, no harm done, we did also take our van into Purnululu and smashed our pull out step, but once again no big deal and it didn't cost a lot to get fixed when we got home. Can't wait to do more of these trips 👌
