I have conflicting reports regarding Hell's gate Roadhouse and was wondering if any members have new info. Some reports say its closed and yet the latest publications say it's open. We plan on coming home via Litchfield, Kakudu, Lawn Hill, Normanton, and am currently planning stopovers. Would appreciate any local or current info.

Just spoke to Leona (owner) at hells gate (07-47458258). The road west of Doomagee is still closed (too wet) and the council is not likely to get a grader in there untill July. There are load restrictions on roads that are open, so Leona and her husband are unable to obtain supplies and haven't been able to get any since October last year.


Leona said they want to open, and if they can get supplies, will do so. The longer the rain hangs around, the less likely the road will support trucks, and therefore affect the supply line. All they can do is hope and pray.

So if you need further updates, phone them on the above number.

Thanks Fred, now I have the number, I will call her nearer the time. We will be looking at Mid to end July, so hopefully it will be dry but still green.
