“ IF YOU ARE PREPARED,
Phone box at Drysdale River Station
DRYSDALE RIVER STATION
Kalumburu Road comes up in 70km, and if you
are prepared, you can turn north and proceed for
59km to Drysdale River Station, where things just
don’t get any more genuine.
There is camping at the homestead, or at Miners
Pool beside Drysdale River. You can leave your
van at Drysdale Station if it is not up to the
significantly rougher road (174km) to the Mitchell
Plateau; those with a true off-road setup can
camp at the Munurru Campground by the King
Edward River.
TURN NORTH AND
PROCEED TO DRYSDALE
RIVER STATION ”
MOUNT ELIZABETH STATION
AND MANNING GORGE
Back at the turn-off, the Gibb proceeds for 70km
with the option to turn north for 30km to Mount
Elizabeth Station. The campground is peaceful
and there is much to explore, including a walking
tour of the station, Aboriginal rock art and easy-
to-access Warla Gorge on the Hann River.
For experienced 4WDers travelling with nothing
but a tent, the 220km (each way) Munja 4WD
track to Walcott Inlet is the adventure of a lifetime.
