Four Wheel Driving in Australia

Before coming to the Kimberley we had stuck rigidly to sealed road, but to see many of the sights in the Kimberly you really need a four wheel drive and get onto some of the unsealed tracks. Now that we had a four wheel drive campervan we could and it was some some! Driving through rivers, steep hills, rocky dry river beds, sand dunes ... great craic ... and that's all before you even get to the place that you wanted to see. The portion of the Gibb River Road we were on was fairly well graded, but the track to El Questro was a little more rough and tumble. It was great practice before heading into the Bungle Bungles - 3 hours to drive 53km to the campsite! Tough driving in every condition the whole way. Great fun but you'd be tired after it. We had to engage L4 (maximum torque) several times.
