Thanks for the heads up on the mozzies and flying bugs. We are looking at going June/July. The rivers in the Kimberleys will not be high and we will able to ford them. Especially the ford on the Gibbs River- Wyndham Road, Gibbs River - Kalumburu Road and on the way in to Purnululu NPIf you do the great ocean road in summer (Dec-March) just a heads up that the mozzies and flying bugs in general are ridiculous.
Fraser you can rent a 4wd (like that sweet 110 I had) from several places in Hervey Bay and then ferry over (they also rented all the camping and cooking gear you'd need) -> https://www.discoverherveybay.com/fraser-magic-4wd-hire/
( Bungle Bungles). The Tanami Track won't be wet and closed to traffic.
Thanks for the 4WD Rental tip. When did you rent it? We have initially been in contact with Britz. They have a Safari Land Cruiser fully kitted for camping, unfortunately no 110's. I doubt there are many 110's for rent anymore.
We rented a 110 from Britz for our self drive in Namibia in 2009
