Longitude | 128.6502778 (128° 39′ 1″ E) |
Along the King River Rd which starts 12km west of Kununurra on the Victoria Hwy, the Valentine Creek crossing is about 6km along and requires high clearance 4wd in the wet season to go further, but is reduced to a large rockhole otherwise. On both banks is good open grassy woodland.
Camp rating 7 this is not an established camp, but there is enough room on the edges of the creek get you off the track, during the dry you can camp next to the rockhole.
