Hi Everyone,
With the opening up of the
Kimberley we are getting calls from folks wanting to travel.
Problem is yes many
places will now be accessible BUT many other
places that are remote Aboriginal Communities are still totally closed. They fall into a different category, this difference often isn’t being made clear.
This means that for the far North
Kimberley both the
Mitchell Plateau and
Kalumburu will remain closed, till at this stage an unknown date.
These
places are the only destinations up the
Kalumburu Road so if they are not open then there is simply nowhere to go to.
On top of that the
Kalumburu road is still NOT legally open to traffic at all, our far North
Kimberley roads have not even had a full opening grade yet.
So sorry but don’t plan on coming up the
Kalumburu road or the
Mitchell Plateau track just yet.
We have just made the difficult decision that
Drysdale River Station will remain closed all dry season for room accommodation, meals, bar and powered site camping.
When/ if the road opens and access to areas up here becomes available then we will consider options and decide if / when to open for only fuel sales and basic camping.
Sorry but at this time it’s the most up to date info that I can offer.
So please do carefully
check what is or isn’t available and accessible all along the
Gibb River Road before setting out. Many
places will remain closed or offer restricted hours or
services.
Cheers, Anne
