RV TRAVEL

WHERE

Kalumburu is at the very top of WA , the most northern town in the north-east of the Kimberley region . Once called the Drysdale River Mission , it ’ s an extremely remote and isolated town on the King Edward River and , more often than not , is isolated during the wet season . It ’ s about 200km north of Drysdale River Station , and it can take a good four hours to drive it due to the road ’ s condition .

Being part of the amazing Kimberley region , the natural beauty will have you spellbound . From stunning waterholes through to amazing rock art and desolate beaches with gorgeous sunsets , this area is a naturalist ’ s dream . There ’ s history around town , including WWII plane wrecks , walks to local rock art , the mission ’ s museum , plus some of the best fishing that our country has to offer .

WHEN TO GO

The best time to head to Kalumburu is during the winter months , when tourists and keen fishermen spend weeks at a time in the area . Kalumburu has a small caravan park behind the mission in town , and there are two other camping areas north , namely McGowan Beach and Honeymoon Bay .

The local shop has a great range of supermarket items and this is also where you can get your permit to pass through town . Fuel is available on Wednesdays and Saturdays between the hours of 8am and 10am .
