These will be a definate essential for your Kimberly trip. Never seen them for an Exy before, they must be the first prototype.nondisclosed_email@example.com (cooch t31)Sun, 01 Feb 2009 06:00:05 +0000 Re: Anyone been to the Kimberleys?https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2023131,from=rss#post2023131https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2023131,from=rss#post2023131We'll see you there!! Except we are going in the opposite direction. This because we are starting in April, and don't want to get to the Kimberley before May. Look out for a white 2008 Xtrail from Victoria. ps have you seen the site www.kimberleyaustralia.com It has a whole lot of info on roads etc. Charlesnondisclosed_email@example.com (clanXy)Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:20:46 +0000 Re: Anyone been to the Kimberleys?https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2020491,from=rss#post2020491https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2020491,from=rss#post2020491It's worth checking it out on Google Earth - one rainy day when I had nothing better to do, I took myself on a virtual trip. It can take quite a while. nondisclosed_email@example.com (trailx)Mon, 15 Dec 2008 00:25:04 +0000 Re: Anyone been to the Kimberleys?https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2020472,from=rss#post2020472https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2020472,from=rss#post2020472I did it in 1992 in some Hi-Lux type thing. The Gibb River Road is fine for the exy, my sister did in a Comodore with caravan (just go slower than a more sturdy 4WD as it can be quite rough, depending on when it was graded). We also went to Kalumburu and Mitchel Plateau. I think there was only one section (100m, on the road to Mitchel Plateau, I think) that the exy would not do because of ground clearance (but of course it could be better now). I don't remember much water (it was June and almost every day was 26-29C and sunny). I have one picture of the Ivanhoe Crossing (which is concrete - on top of a weir) and the water was up to the bottom of the bumperbar.

Was wondering if anyone has been up there? I am looking for any advice and comments. Particularly interested in how the exy will handle river crossings? We are going to tak our camper trailer. Any thoughts? nondisclosed_email@example.com (emkay100)Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:34:18 +0000
