Welcome to Ilkurlka Roadhouse!

Travel update 6 May 2025
​​
The Anne Beadell remains closed in Western Australia as does the Connie Sue where it passes through the shire of Laverton. Until the Anne Beadell has been fixed as far as Ilkurlka we are prevented from accessing fuel supplies so no fuel is available at the moment.
​
A start on repairing the rain damage from March last year has been made but there remains another 210km or so to go. We do not know when this final section will be completed.
​
Note that Laverton shire has track closures in place for the Anne Beadell and Connie Sue Highways.
Please see the Laverton shire and Kalgoorlie road reports before travelling:​

Ilkurlka Roadhouse is located approximately 770km west of Coober Pedy and 550km east of Laverton on the Anne Beadell Highway.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Volunteers
Ilkurlka Roadhouse is a non-for-profit community enterprise managed by Paupiyala Tjarutja. Volunteers are critical in maintaining this service. At different times of the year the Roadhouse enlists the support of volunteers to assist with running the outstation and projects.
The tasks are widely varied: serving customers, maintaining equipment, meeting the mail plane, working with Anangu in running activities and special projects.
Volunteering is a unique opportunity to work in a remote yet culturally strong community. You will have the chance to interact with the traditional owners of Tjuntjuntjara and listen to their stories around the camp fire.
Many of our volunteers have returned over the years and many lifelong friendships have been made. There is a special bond between people who live and work in Spinifex Country, formed through isolation and its challenges.
It is a part of Australia that all too few people will get the chance to experience!
