Kimberley Road Conditions and Distances

Current Road Conditions

Certain roads in the Kimberley are subject to closures after heavy rain.

In fact some roads (like the Gibb River Road) are closed for months at a time during the wet season. Even in the dry season, heavy rains can raise water levels in water crossing significantly.
