Thanks all who have replied so far. I'll be working on it some more later this week. It seems that some of the places just are too busy to get back to me right now, so I'm going to bug them some more by phone over the next day or two.

With the GTG finishing in Broome, what are others thinking of doing after that?

I have been pouring over maps, reading reports, listening to advice and am slowly piecing together a plan to slowly make our way back to Tasmania. There is never enough time to do everything but trying to fit in what we can but also relax and enjoy the experience.

Some of the ideas being thought about so far are; camel ride on Cable Beach (no negotiations on this apparently), Steep Point, Tom Price (couple of national parks in the area), the Pinnacles, visit family in Perth, Holland Track, Old Eyre Highway, whale watching, worlds longest golf course. This is just some of my thoughts but has filled in the evenings quite nicely.

We have even started buying things like day packs ready for the gorge walks (those that know me know that I don't like walking but at this stage am excited about the walks), looking at footwear to walk in the water of the gorges etc.

I'd thoroughly recommend Karijini National Park near Tom Price(if you're not gorged out on gorges by then) but that water is COLD! And the Pinnacles. Get to the closest overnight camp/park nearby early and aim to arrive the following morning as early as possible and you'll have the place to yourselves.

Its been a few years since we were up that way but I don't remember the main gorges being that far too walk from anywhere, apart from Manning Gorge (you could swim across or take the longer walk when we were there, but I understand there is now a tinny to cart your gear across) Can't speak for EQ as we didn't go.

We just did it all in thongs and barefeet but river shoes or the backpacker special rafting sandals would be the best bet for the gorges IMO. You're not going to walk more than a couple of KM to get to any from what I remember, Mr and Mrs Whitey will have a better idea though.

I really am jealous for those going and will live vicariously through the various threads but it looks like we are 90% committed to 6 weeks in the UK next year at the same time.

Outside of the Tasmania 2015 GTG it looks like this will be the largest Tasmanian contingent ever at a GTG. Bring it on!

I must say, this is a bit of a strange thing to operate, this forum. So used to FB.... please overlook my slightly dodgy posting..

Lets hope the scones aren't dodgy
