Information

The Gibb River is 30m wide and very sandy at this point and travellers will find a concrete causeway here where the Kalumburu Rd crosses the river.This is often covered with 10 cm water early in June, but the flow will cease by mid month. By September only a few stagnant pools remain. The causeway allows all traffic (including cattle trucks and supply trucks) to access Drysdale and other stations north towards Kalumburu.
