Welcome to Ilkurlka Visitor Centre!

Welcome to Ilkurlka!
​
Urgent travel update 20 April 2024
​
There was very high rainfall between Ilkurlka and Laverton in the first half of March.
​
The latest advice is that the Anne Beadell and Connie Sue Highways west of Ilkurlka will remain closed until at least the end of May. The estimated regional damage is between $20 to $100 million within Laverton shire, only about 30% of roads in the area have been assessed so far as there is a lot of water still around. A possible timeframe is late May for the reopening of the Great Central Road and it is very unlikely that the Anne Beadell will open before that.
​
We do not know if the track through Serpentine Lakes on the Anne Beadell Highway on the SA/WA border is passable.
​
Please check Laverton and Kalgoorlie-Boulder shire road reports for road closures. These closures are for public safety!
Laverton road reports can be found at https://www.laverton.wa.gov.au/services/roads/road-condition-reports.aspx.
​
We are located approximately 770km west of Coober Pedy and 550km east of Laverton on the Anne Beadell Highway.
​
​
As well as offering roadhouse facilities (diesel, limited supplies of opal/petrol, basic groceries and a campground) we have an excellent display of artwork created by the Spinifex people.
​
We look forward to welcoming you!
​
Please feel free to contact us for travel updates.
If you need opal/petrol, please call in advance to check availability. Diesel is always available.
