The water from taps is suitable to drink anywhere unless it is signed Bore Water (from underground). Bottled water just contributes to landfill and pollution of our beautiful country.

Hi Paul, if you are heading to Western Australia, then you may be interested in crossing the Gibb River Road in the Kimberley, North West Australia. You can start from Kununurra and head west, itโ€™s a long way, but if you have enough 4WD experience, it should be fine. Drive slow, as a flat tyre is common on ungraded dirt roads.

Yes it was good fun, and a bit of a challenge too! ๐Ÿ˜‰

The roadhouses were great for cold beer and a shower. 4WD was essential once I left the paved roads. Common brown snakes could be a problem if you’re not paying attention south of Darwin. I’d do it again solo in a heartbeat – maybe Western Australia.

Too afraid to do it, and never thought it to be fun, but the way you said it is just way too tempting. I think I’ll pack up right now. ๐Ÿ˜€

Hi Amir, the flyspray is essential. I got bitten by an insect and had to take antihistamine to calm down the swelling! Thanks for adding this tip.

Some tips to add:
– Download google maps of where you’re going so you have it available offline, helpful when you find yourself out of signal.

– Sunscreen and flyspray are essential, a good hat comes in handy as well. Australian fly’s are aggressive and bothersome.
