Warburton Roadhouse W.A.

Try this number for the store 8956 7637

Noldi, I don't think traveller's are allowed access into the town hence the foodstuffs at the Roadhouse (I'll stand correcting on that though). Community store hours are generally somewhat limited in the outback communities.

Cheers Mick

I was unaware of that Mick, we were there in September, used the Post Office (spare memory card for the camera) and picked up some fruit, nothing was mentioned, does not mean that its not true though, would pay to ring them

Had a quick look could not find any notice of restrictions or closed town, It is a dry town though.

My permit allowed access to any of the communities for the purpose of fuel or shop purchases. We did not stop at Warburton, fuelling at Tjukayirla. Someone we met stopped at Warburton to purchase tyres. Others stayed at the campsite there. It is a well visited community.

The roughness of the showers is in proportion to how long it is since you had a decent one! Not all of us travel with our personal version of the Hilton on the tray!

There is that Rocco.

Having trouble with the ensuite in the camper at the moment, The marble tiling is cracking with the rough roads!

Hey Tony, I've not seen or heard anywhere that there's any sort of restriction on entering the town (other than having a permit to travel the aboriginal lands which is very simple and free to get)? do you have a source for this? just interested for future travels.

How familiar are you with Warburton. The roadhouse and camping area are right on the highway, the community, or town, is a short distance away on the other side of the highway. When I was at Warburton there was a sign on the turn off from the highway to the community saying no entry, or words to that effect. In my limited experience, regardless of what permits might say, it's best if you don't just go and drive around in a community without clearing it with someone on the ground.


Cheers

Thanks Rocco,

yep was there 4 months ago did not see any signs, went into town spoke to the local copper who was supervising some young fellas cleaning up, went to the post office and local store no one mentioned it, that's why I'm a bit confused. I have sent an email to the Ngaanyatjarraku council and will post the results here

Sorry for the delay in getting back, never received a reply to my email enquiry so I rang the Store, Rocco is correct in what he has said, and while I did not do this when I was there in September, I have been told the process is to go to the roadhouse in the first instance before proceeding into the community.
Now I know for next time.
