Last I heard was that Drysdale River was partially open and you can drive through Kalumburu but can not stop at the township.

Hi Siringo,

Contact the Drysdale River Station, they should be able to give the info you are chasing. The last I heard, (a couple of weeks ago), Honeymoon Bay is taking bookings.

I spoke to Honeymoon Bay this morning. Camping is available, no fishing or cultural tours available ATM.Kalumburu is still closed including fuel. You still need to get your Kalumburu access pass to drive through the community to get to Honeymoon Bay and you also need to get a road access permit from the Shire of East Kimberley to drive north beyond the Mitchell Falls Rd.

Pfizer jabs have arrived in Kalumburu and once the community has had their jabs then maybe they will open to the public?
