Kalumburu Road

Kalumburu Road in the far northern Kimberley region provides access to some of the remotest and most spectacular terrain in the north. Four wheel drive enthusiasts will enjoy the challenging drive along the unsealed road that leads to the Aboriginal community of Kalumburu Mission. Stop along the way at the Drysdale River Station and explore the magnificent Mitchell Falls before continuing your journey on to Kalumburu. Allow time to explore the pristine yet rugged landscape, enjoy the sheer remoteness and see the amazing starlight night skies. Kalumburu Road is a ten hour drive northwest of Kununurra. Before setting off, you will need to apply for two permits to allow you to travel on parts of the road that is Aboriginal land and to enter the Kalumburu Mission. Contact the Kununurra Visitor Centre for further information. Allow a couple of days to reach Kalumburu and ensure you carry plenty of supplies, petrol, food and water as there are limited facilities along the road to the Kalumburu Mission. Check road conditions prior to departure.
