Gibb River Road: a 12-day adventure

The Gibb River Road is just one part of the epic Savannah Way road trip, which travels all the way across the country’s north from Western Australia to Queensland (or vice-versa). We’ve divided the journey into three sections as it passes through three of Australia’s states and territories. The entire Savannah Way can take upwards of three weeks to complete. You can do several sections independently, but if you’re ready to tackle this epic journey in its entirety, check out our other Savannah Way itineraries. Continue the journey through the Northern Territory before ending your trip on the Queensland coast.
