Thanks mate much appreciated :cup:

Jet ;D

Water was used for drinking, washing up and the occasional rinse with a spray gun off the tap on the A frame that was for 2 people for 10 days

As for the fuel i recon i could have gotten from Derby, down and back to Mornington and then onto Elquestro on the one tank but i started to doubt myself with all the whats up there side trips and so the top up at Mt Barnett

When you get to Kununurra & are low on diesel  DONT BUY IT IN TOWN  >:D Enquire as to where the CoOp is  , about 2Ks out of town  . The fuel is 15 C a litre cheaper & on hand 24 hour a day . Top up                     :cup:                     :cheers:

We did the Gibb in 2014 two adults, 03 rodeo towing a small cub, I worked on an average of 15 lts/ 100 km. We topped up at Imitje (may be open in 2016), Mt. Barrmet, Drysdale, Kalumbaroo, Drysdale, Kunnanura, not sure of figures but never had to use gerry cans apart from the Tanami, I hope this helps

I wonder if a water filter would make things easier?  A decent one would allow topping up more often.

Yeah but it is still the bore water it is potable but only if you are used to it. I found out as a first time drinker it quickly went in one end then i was like a chocolate eclair later on with s##T coming out both ends 4hrs later
