A question for those that have been to the Kimberleys in the dry season, Is it worth taking a portable fire pit with us?
We love sitting around the fire, but would we use it very often? I've heard it can get cold at night, but do you need a fire.
We are planning on going June, July and August this year.
Thanks in advance

We carry a portable fire box (fold up type) always we also carry a small BBQ that uses either small timber/sticks or Briquettes. Camping = Fire.

On our recent trip in N/W WA (June/July/Aug 2018) anywhere we were allowed to light a fire, a fire pit was already there whether it be just a hole in the ground, a ring of bricks or rocks, a crudely constructed pit or a central point. Some pay parks actually supply a fire pit if you ask.
I carry an 18V Ryobi chainsaw (battery used in torch, fan, drill as well) and found that very handy. Never took our small pit and never missed it. Only really cold night was Kalgoorlie.
As Possum says: Camping = Fire. Add to that invite the neighbours over or go fire hopping with drink in hand (coffee, lemon squash, whatever) and share someone else's.

Do they have fire restrictions in June/July in the Kimberley's.
Just made this fire pit out of old 9 kg gas bottle, little bit heavy and a little bit high, but made with 50 mm pipe so it can be carried on jockey wheel bracket.
My question is it really worth taking or wouldn't we use it much due to the warmer climate?
I'm a pyromaniac and love my fires, just not sure whether to bother.

Like the fire pit. I'm a pyromaniac too. Petrol bombs were a specialty of mine up to a few years ago.
