Essential Map Of The Kimberley, Australia
All The Kimberley Maps You'll Ever Need Are On This Page
On this page I show you the best road map of the Kimberley, Australia.
I also give you some links that let you download and print some excellent free maps for all the Kimberley towns.
Maps Of Kimberley, Australia, Towns
The Department of Land Administration has produced fantastic printable maps of all Kimberley towns. Those maps fit neatly on a standard A4 page. They show all the roads and the street names are legible. On top of that they also highlight all the attractions in the towns. They don't just mark them, they also explain what there is to see and do.
The maps are available from the Landgate website:
Print the maps out now, and then you always have them for reference, say for example while deciding where to stay. Why not print them two sided and laminate them? That gives you three durable A4 cards to throw in your bag or in the glove box of your car.
(You do need Adobe Acrobat to view and print the maps. If it's not on your computer get it here for free.)
The Best Kimberley Map
On top of the town maps you also need a detailed map of the whole Kimberley. The Kimberley map that I recommend is produced by HEMA. It's the best map of the Kimberley for tourists, period.
This is not just a personal preference of mine.
The HEMA Kimberley map is the map that you see laminated and glued to the desk of every tourist information centre in the Kimberley.
Why? Because it's the map that best helps the people behind the desk answer your questions.
This Kimberley map is more than just a road map. It has and does everything that you expect from an excellent road map. (Even though we have many more tracks than real roads, they're all there.) But this Kimberley map also:
Highlights all the attractions, reserves, national parks etc, and gives you a short description of what there is to see and do.
There is also a lot of important travel information, for example about the quarantine at the WA border. Everything you need to know.
Shows exactly what services are available at the remote roadhouses, stores and wilderness camps.
Lists GPS coordinates for every roadhouse, landmark, Aboriginal community, anything that has a name...
Lists phone numbers for wilderness camps, tour operators, national park offices, shire offices, main roads offices and other government departments, anything you could need on your trip.
(Even phone numbers of cattle stations if they happen to have a nice gorge on their property, so you can ring them and ask for permission to camp there.)
On the back you have a larger scale map of just the Gibb River Road, again with explanations of all the sights along the way.
And on top of all that you get a bunch of beautiful pictures of the Kimberley, and a short travel guide for the region.
The HEMA Kimberley map is an excellent Kimberley map and a great picture travel guide all in one.
It's a must have map, unless, of course, you have the
HEMA Kimberley Atlas & Guide!
