RV TRAVEL
QUARANTINE
It ’ s very important to know if you ’ re travelling to the Kimberley from other states that Western Australia has strict quarantine laws . There ’ s a checkpoint located by the NT border near Kununurra and disposal bins can be found near Halls Creek . Check out the website listed at the end of this article to learn what you can or can ’ t bring into WA .
CROCODILES
Like other areas in Australia ’ s north , the entire Kimberley region is croc country and we ’ re talking about both freshies and salties . Freshwater crocodiles are found in many of the area ’ s fresh waterways although they don ’ t have the same reputation of their saltwater counterparts .
It ’ s also not uncommon for saltwater crocodiles to be found 100km inland from the sea in fresh water . It therefore doesn ’ t matter if the area you visit has croc signposts or not ; it still pays to be vigilant and aware of your surroundings .
WA is very strict on quarantine requirements ; make sure you comply .
Be croc-wise throughout the entire Kimberley .
FACILITIES
The main towns in the Kimberley provide most of the services you would come to expect of towns their size , and other items can generally be ordered in if they ’ re unavailable . As with many things in the Kimberley , time is a slowmoving clock , and you need to be prepared that anything ordered can take time .
