Car
If you're driving from Broome, take the Great Northern Highway (National Route 1) south for about 210 kilometers until you reach Derby. From Derby, continue on the Great Northern Highway for another 120 kilometers until you reach the turnoff for Gibb River Road. Turn left onto Gibb River Road and follow it for approximately 130 kilometers. Look for the signs directing you to Bell Gorge. You'll find the entrance to the Dalmanyi (Bell Gorge) National Park on Silent Grove Road, which is a well-maintained dirt road. Drive down Silent Grove Road for about 20 kilometers until you reach the parking area.
Public Transport + Walk
Public transport options are limited in this remote region, but you can take a bus or tour from Broome to Derby. From Derby, you can join a guided tour that includes transportation to Dalmanyi (Bell Gorge). Make sure to book in advance, as these tours can fill up quickly, especially in peak season. The tours usually provide a vehicle that will take you directly to the gorge, and some may include a walking guide who will lead you on the trails once you arrive. Check local tour operators for pricing, which can vary widely based on the inclusions of the tour.
4WD Rental
For those seeking an adventurous route, consider renting a 4WD vehicle in Broome. This will give you the flexibility to explore the Gibb River Road and its surrounding attractions. Make sure to check with your rental company about the off-road policies and any insurance coverage needed for driving on unsealed roads. Once you have your 4WD, follow the same directions as outlined for driving from Broome, making sure to bring plenty of water and supplies, as services are limited in this area.
