Hi Sea Goat,

the road is sealed most of the way, but there is a bit of driving on a main dirt road that does get very corragated at times. the road is good enough at all times for a 2wd though so it shouldnt cause you a drama, just take it slow.

there is a cafe/resturaunt there that has a reasonble sized car park to leave the boat for the day, it is usually staffed whether it be a ranger or cafe staff, so it should be pretty safe there if you tell them.

might be worth while calling ahead? the staff there seem really friendly and helpful so it shouldnt be a problem.

hope that helped a little

Have house/yard in tom price you can leave the boat. Crime here is more or less non existent

When you come from exmouth go through paraburdoo as there is a dirt track if you go the way Google maps says (via nameless Valley drive).

Karijini roads are usually pretty bad. Would not recommend 2wd. You can pretty much do the whole lot in a day or 2 depending on fitness and what you want to see. For me once you see a few gorges they are more or less the same

 Thanks for the info guys! And truly a generous offer! Hopefully the wife boss gives me. The all clear, lol!
