We spent about three weeks in the Kimberly last July as part of a 3 month trip (ex Sydney). We keep to the bitumen with the Expanda but venture off road for day trips. We started at the Broome end and really really enjoyed the weather, the beach and all of the shops after all the small towns. Saved up and did the Horizontal Waterfalls whole day tour from 5.30am to 5.30pm. 4WD bus/truck, seaplane at 500 feet above the swirling ocean, the falls in a fast boat, fly back - worth the price tag. Based ourselves at Fitzroy Crossing (really spacious park with grass!) for three nights giving us a day for Tunnel Creek and Winjana (a definite must) and a quieter day for Geike Gorge. Next stop the van park at the entrance to Bungle Bungles (basic park but the location!). Great day in the Bungles, will go back. They tell you its really rough, buts it corrugations so we averaged less than 30kph and still did the drive in under 2 hours. Very enjoyable drive and sceneray fantastic. Did the final kms out in the dark as we stated late (tyre repairs needed). Also did a day trip down the Tanimi to Wolfe Creek crater - interesed the kids more because of the movies. Next stop Kunnanura. Again, nice town with lots of amenities and the parks are all on the lake - quite amazing location. Did a day trip to Wyndham (Grotto, Billabong etc) and that was a good day, but I would not have stayed there. Day trip to El Questro - Emma Gorge and the thermal springs. Next time would ignore the dirt and take the van in for a night or two. Next time we would also spend a night up at Lake Argyle - the park with the infinity edge looking over the lake. You will probably need to book Broome and Kunanurra at that time of year. I assume you have found the WA Tourist websites - pretty good sites. Enjoy.
