Tips
- Book ahead for June–August.
- Many parks offer tour bookings and pickups.
- Restock supplies in Kununurra before the Gibb River Road.
- Follow crocodile warnings on lake shores.
Before the Gibb or the Bungles
Kununurra is the last major town for supplies heading west on the Gibb River Road or south to Purnululu. Use your park stay to service your vehicle, refill water tanks, do laundry and stock up on groceries and fuel.
Wet-season stays
Some parks reduce services in the wet season, while others remain open year-round. Check opening arrangements if you plan to visit between December and March.
Life at the park
Expect a friendly mix of grey nomads, families and working travellers. Evenings are warm and social; mornings start early to beat the heat. Keep food secure from birds and wildlife, and always follow crocodile warnings near the lake.
