The Kimberley region of Western Australia experiences harsh weather
extremes between the “Wet Season” and the “Dry Season”.
During the Wet
Season road conditions within the Shire of Halls Creek can change
dramatically in a short amount of time making some roads inaccessible to all
vehicles. Heavy rain can flood areas along the roads and wash out floodways
making them dangerous or unsuitable for both experienced and
inexperienced drivers.
Delays can also occur, so it is recommended that a
suitable supply of food and water be carried in case of delays to the trip and
two spare tyres should be carried at all times.
Extreme caution should be exercised at all floodways
and creek crossings. Towing of trailers and caravans on these roads is not
recommended.
