Hi Ross,
we tried to get internet / Telstra service last year in the camp- not available at all…..
Cheers, Verena
Hi there,
another possibility to get fuel is to make an appointment with SHOREBARGE, (The company is officially called Shoreland Group, I guess, if you look them up…it’s best to call them…)in Darwin…they have a barge going through the Kimberleys This worked very well and easy for us last year, 3 month Kimberleys on a Powerboat…..
Hi David,
sorry to hear your bad experience ! We just arrived last night back in Darwin and have been with “Never Land” down to the HF. Our experience in mid september was more than pleasant : we were 2 boats anchored up there, all together 6 people. First we went with the dinghy over to their official start point. It was offered very friendly to do a private trip with the 6 of us later the same afternoon, an hour before high tide. They asked if we would liked to be picked up at our own boats and that they will contact us on the radio within the next hour to confirm that they can take us “in between”.
Only ten minutes later they called and confirmed everything, for 55$/pP and we had great half an hour of adrenalin rush ! The skipper of the vessel did a great job and new exceptional well to handle 3x 300hp in the falls.
All the best,
Verena & Ingo “MV Never Land”
Good morning and all the best for 2016 🙂
On board our beloved NEVER LAND, who is an (extended, so now ) 44″ Brava PowerCat we are planning to cruise around the top and visit the Kimberleys for the first time….We are living in the Whitsundays and plan to start around April… being a powerboat it’s just hard to get organized if you just think about fuel…. This will also be our very first long trip, the only other longer trip we’ve done was cruising from Port Stephens(NSW) to Airlie Beach…. so we are quite excited and yes, also a bit scared…..
Due to our grade of experience we decided to not travel overnight…. Is there anyone out there who started from the Whitsundays, in a powerboat and was also only traveling @daylight ?
And again : all the best for 2016 and meet you on the water
