El Questro Homestead
4WD Hire
4WD
Cockburn Escarpment
El Questro is situated in the East Kimberley 110km west of Kununurra by road (58 km on the sealed Great Northern Highway towards Wyndham, with the remainder on the unsealed and corrugated gravel Gibb River Road).
Whilst El Questro does provide return road transfers from Kununurra, as well as guided tours, we strongly recommend that guests consider hiring a 4WD during their stay at El Questro. A 4WD vehicle gives you the freedom and flexibility of exploring the Wilderness Park, experiencing the magic of the Kimberley at your own leisure.
You could extend your 4WD hire to include the numerous attractions in the Kimberley. This could include travelling the infamous Gibb River Road from Kununurra to Derby and onto Broome, return on the Great Northern Highway through Fitzroy Crossing, Halls Creek and Turkey Creek.
Driving Conditions
- Be careful not to underestimate travelling time when driving in the Kimberley. Allow an average speed of 80 km per hour on sealed roads and 50 km per hour on unsealed roads.
- Always ensure you carry adequate supplies of fuel, food and in particular, water.
- Nearly all of the Kimberley is cattle country, most roads are unfenced, which means cattle, horses, and donkeys can wander across the road at any time. Night driving can be dangerous due to straying animals. Extreme care is advised.
- Large road trains (semi trailer with three other trailers) can be up to 50 m long. Caution is recommended when overtaking these vehicles.
