Does anyone have any up to date information of the
Cape Leveque Rd from
Broome to the cape. I only need to know what the current conditions now are not those from 20 years ago.

Was there 2 weeks ago. Top 2/3's could only be described as very rough with dozens of washouts (dangerous as they're very hard to see until you're on top of them). They were grading the bottom 1/3 as we were returning to
Broome, this part was very good (smooth) but sandy - which is great compaired to the corrugations of the top 2/3's. I can only assume that the grading has been completed in the last two weeks, so the trip should be good now.

I was there last week and the road is rough but drivable. One section is smooth as, hard gravel packed. . They were grading while we were driving up (Hired a standard Landcruiser). Even graded its not that good, lots of soft sand holes and ruts.
We stayed at
Cable Beach Resort for our 20th Wedding Anniversary and just went up for the day. Long day and we would have loved to stay at least overnight but definately 3-4 days.
Also saw a few "Soft Roaders" such as X-Trails etc.
Saw a few tent trailer style campers but no vans. It took us 2 1/2 hours driving at max 80 k and sometimes 50-60 k. Worth the trip as it was fantastic. We went to One Arm Point and wouldn't bother doing that again.
Middle Lagoon was sensational as was
Lombadina and the Cape itself (Kooljaman)

Hi
I don't think caravans are allowed at
Cape Leveque.
Check with Kooljaman first
Nice spot but
