After a week at Walsh Point , with a few fish and plenty of memories under my belt , it was time to leave and head back out and further north to Kalumburu . It ’ s 100km back to the Gibb-Kalumburu Road turn-off and another 110km to the top to Kalumburu . Previously , I ’ ve seen a few shows where trucks tackle this road north and have all sorts of trouble , with the road looking more like a track with plenty of water crossings , over ranges and across a variety of different terrain . With this in mind , I swung a left back at the main intersection and headed towards Kalumburu . I wasn ’ t disappointed with what the drive showed me : water crossings , bird-filled billabongs , amazing views at the top of several ranges , and diverse wildlife along the way . Of course , this is still croc country so there was no way I could stop for a cool dip .
You have to be croc-wise up here .
INCREDIBLE KALUMURU
Arriving in Kalumburu , my first stop was for fuel , but being short on volunteers there was no fuel for sale on the day I was there . There ’ s a local shop that had a good supply of supermarket items and this is the place to get a permit to travel through town and onto the two camping areas further north . Keep in mind that Kalumburu is a dry town and no alcohol is available or can be drunk in town .
