Junction,Intersection,Turn Off 
The Drysdale River Station Homestead and its tourist facilities is just 1km from this junction along the signed access track. This is a working cattle station however it's undoubtedly the most visited of all the stations on the Kalumburu Rd.
Drysdale Crossing [2.54km]

Major waterway with concrete causeway, although prone to major flooding and often impassable in the wet season. A beautiful area to explore, however this is private property and there is strictly no camping allowed.
