**Urgent coronavirus update**

 

Ilkurlka roadhouse will be closed to travellers until further notice so that we can reduce the risk of introduction and spread of coronavirus to our communities.

​

Already Maralinga Tjarutja has revoked all existing permits in South Australia and in Western Australia new regulations restrict access to essential personnel and residents only.

​

We regret the necessity of closing the roadhouse but we are sure that you can understand the reasons.

ABOUT ILKURLKA VISITOR CENTRE AND ROADHOUSE

 

Ilkurlka Visitor Centre and Roadhouse is a small community-controlled outstation run by the Spinifex People and roadhouse on the Anne Beadell Highway in Western Australia. It is probably the most remote roadhouse in Australia and is the only outpost on the Anne Beadell Highway between Coober Pedy and Laverton.
