 Description of Tjukayirla Roadhouse

This remote Roadhouse on the Great Central Road is where you must ask for the mud map and permission to visit these newly found caves by Andrew Bignell, who runs the Roadhouse, with his wife Sue.

Tjukayirla Roadhouse is 15kms east of the junction of the David Carnegie Road and the Great Central Road. Apart from fuel, the Road House also provides basic food stuffs, and has a caravan park with a camp kitchen. Very well priced local art. A lot cheaper than the other communities yet still original.
