Fitzroy Crossing

Fitzroy Crossing sits on the Fitzroy River, roughly midway between Derby and Halls Creek on the Great Northern Highway. For most travellers it's a practical stop (fuel, supplies and a break) on the way to or from Geikie Gorge (Darngku) and the eastern Kimberley.

Things to Do in Fitzroy Crossing

• Geikie Gorge (Darngku): a short drive north of town, with boat tours through limestone gorge walls run by the local Bunuba community, and walking trails along the riverbank.
• Fitzroy River: the river that gives the town its name, running high and fast in the wet season and pooling in the dry, making it a good rest stop and photo opportunity.
• Fuel and supplies: the last reliable fuel and supply stop for a good stretch in either direction, worth planning around if you're continuing east or west.

If your itinerary extends beyond the western Gibb, Fitzroy Crossing is a sensible waypoint to plan around. Talk to us about vehicle suitability for the route when you book or get in touch; most of our fleet is well suited to this stretch of highway driving, with 4WDs recommended if you're continuing on to unsealed roads beyond it.
