Hi again Ross,

Our planning for a Kimberley trip continues. I think the boat will have a range of about 1000nm. We plan to leave Darwin in late June. We will only have 4 weeks to see what we can and arrive back at Darwin. Based on the excellent article republished by KCCyc, it seems that travelling to Dogleg creek and back will involve approx 1000nm one way with pre arranged fuel hopefully at Truscott on the way. We’re not the types to linger for days in a bay and we don’t mind long days of motoring at 10knots but even so it appears we can’t comfortably go as far as Dog Leg Creek. If we don’t get that far west and fuel up we would probably need to stop well east of that point for fuel considerations. So I guess I’m asking, should we confine ourselves to the eastern Kimberley. We do want to be able to visit at least some of the iconic Kimberley locations but not simply be steaming from one to another. Can you give us any advice how far west we should be trying to head and would we be seeing some of the best of the Kimberley? Many thanks in advance. Dave

Thanks very much Ross for the detailed response. I’ll take all that on board and continue the planning process. No doubt all have many other questions once I get my head around the broad logistics of the trip. Cheers Dave
