There is nothing out here. Just red soil and rock. A couple of people along the way had recommended not to stay at Fitzroy Crossing which was about 650k’s, as the locals could take a liking to what’s not their’s. I planned on trying to get as far as Broome which was just over 1000k’s.
I got as far as Willare, 875k’s and stopped for a break. It had been a hot and dry day and about 8.5hrs including stops. It was another 170k’s to Broome with full sun in my face, or go back a few k’s and turn to Derby and be there in 1/2 hr.
I reached Derby and rode through and back and around. I found the camping area and was made to feel very welcome. There is a lot of tourist information scattered around and I become aware that I am now in The Kimberley Region.
I stayed in Derby for the next day and found it to be a really laid back, quiet little place, with access to the whole North West of Australia, both Land and Sea.
