Gibb River Road

The road was originally built through the rugged Kimberley landscape to truck cattle out from the stations. In more recent times it has been overtaken by tourists and adventurers looking to get off the beaten track.

In this video report we ride along the famous Gibb River Road.

Watch the video on Vimeo or YouTube to see how it went. Or see our progress on our Google Map.
