Jack's Waterhole

We are travelling the Gibb River Road in July this year (yes, we know, very busy) and would like to know if Jack's Waterhole is closed for camping and to visit? Is the only way to visit it from Home Valley Station?

PS...your guide is truly excellent...congratulations!

Re: Jack's Waterhole

Thanks, Robyn!
Yes, I am afraid access to Jack's Waterhole is closed to the public. There is a locked gate and Home Valley Station has the key.

Any facilities that were there have been lost and washed away by the Durack River in a flood in 2002. They have not been rebuilt.

The land is owned by the Indigenous Land Corporation, the same mob that owns Home Valley Station.

Home Valley Station does fishing tours that visit Jack's Waterhole.

They will give you the key and allow you to go there during the day, but that option is only available to people who stay at Home Valley.

There is no camping at Jack's Waterhole.
