Drysdale River Station -Still closed

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
