Information

The King Edward River Crossing has a rocky bottom, and can be quite deep in May/June when it first opens to tourists. As the dry season progresses the level is lower. Numerous spots to pull over for a lunch break are nearby. Various access tracks and almost unlimited room for campers under trees, along banks of river about 500m away.
This crossing is just 8km from the Kalumburu turnoff.
