Katherine to Kununurra road trip: Distance, driving time & stops
Katherine to Kununurra road trip stops: Victoria River Roadhouse
The first road trip stop worth considering is Gregory on the Victoria River. This is home to the Victoria River Roadhouse, a fuel stop where you can also pick up something to eat.
There are a couple of decent walks to take on while you’re here. The Nawulbinbin Walk is a moderate 1.8km loop from the Joe Creek Picnic Area, although the steeper, 2.4km walk to the Escarpment Lookout offers arguably better views of the rugged landscape.
Road trip essentials that many travellers forget
Search on the web, and you’ll find ludicrously long lists of equipment to take on a road trip. Australia Travel Questions isn’t going to do that to you. But it is worth buying the following road trip items before setting off. Click through for a good range of options.
- Charging cables – yes, you’ll probably need a spare at some point.
- Car charger adaptor – in case your rental car has the old-fashioned cigarette lighter rather than a USB.
- Multi USB charger – for those hotel rooms that don’t have enough power sockets.
- Fold-up chairs – to make anywhere a picnic spot.
- A really good water bottle – go for a bigger one than usual to last the longer drives.
- Packing cubes – save space but, more importantly, avoid unpacking everything every night.
