Kalumburu Road

The Kalumburu Road is a scenic unsealed road stretching 267 kilometers from the Gibb River Road to the coast where the Aboriginal community of Kalumburu is situated, and also provides access to the breathtaking Mitchell Falls.

The Kalumburu Road runs north from Gibb River Road, an intersection that is about 250 kilometers from Kununurra.

The road to Kalumburu takes you through vast, open plains and rugged terrain, providing a picturesque view of the Mitchell Plateau, Mitchell Falls, and the surrounding wilderness.
