Frequently Asked Questions

Well, this is a question that has certainly become a hot topic in 2026.

Put simply, we’re in a really good position in the East Kimberley. We have a local distributor which was originally established to service the East Kimberley Agricultural and Mining Sectors. The fuel arrives from Singapore into our local Port (that’s Wyndham). The service was extended a few years ago to a 24-7 retail self-serve station.

As of March 2026, we understand that we have among the cheapest diesel in Western Australia in Kununurra. Right now (updated April 15th, 2026), it’s 227.50c per litre.

Our local distributor has also been selected by the Western Australian Government to purchase and store 4 million litres of diesel at their facility at Wyndham Port.

Here’s what we wrote about fuel availability before the conflict with Iran imploded.

A local company – Cambridge Gulf Limited – import fuel directly into the port at Wyndham only 70km from Kununurra. The most affordable fuel in the Kimberley. Their modern depot on Bandicoot Drive also has an automatic car wash, ice station and an air-compressor. If you are driving on the highway to Broome or Darwin there are plenty of fuel stations stops.

There are two fuel depots along the Gibb River Road but it is still recommended to bring some spare fuel. It is fully anticipated that they will have fuel and diesel available in 2026.

Kununurra is a very pet-friendly town with five of the six caravan parks allowing pets all year round. Kimberleyland is the only Caravan Park to offer the pet-free alternative. Discovery Lake Kununurra and Hidden Valley Kununurra Caravan Park allow pets and participates in the same G’Day Rewards program as Kimberleyland.

It pains us that this is such a common question – we’ll be straight with you.

Kununurra had, in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and during a short time in 2025 a spate of car thefts. Facts matter and in the most recent data, thefts are trending down. Want a fact check? Hop onto the Police Crime Statistics page to have a look yourself.

Fortunately, cars and caravans that are secured are not stolen – there has not been forced break-ins or armed robberies. Thefts that have occurred around town are the result of opportunism. No matter where you stay in Kununurra or anywhere, it is recommended that you lock up in the same way that you lock up when you are at home. Lock your car and caravan, keep your keys hidden and secure – do not leave valuables outside and/or unsecured. This includes alcohol in car fridges and eskies.

At Kimberleyland, our park is secured by full fences and boom gates on entry and exit. We have CCTV installed around the park and motion sensor alarms.

When you stay at Kimberleyland, you will receive an SMS reminder early in the evening giving you a gentle reminder to lock up. We have found that giving this reminder has been the single most effective tool against theft in our park as we had far too many guests leaving keys in their ignition, leaving doors and cars unlocked or leaving keys laying around in plain sight.

We do have guests who express discomfort with this message sometimes and our response is always the same, “we’re glad that you and everyone else in the park didn’t experience theft last night”.

The message we have for visitors is that we don’t experience violence or forced break-ins, only opportunistic crime – so please just lock up.

Yes, we have a free WIFI across the whole caravan park. We were fortunate enough to receive a Federal Government Caravan Parks Grant in 2023/24 to upgrade our WIFI facitilies – the feedback has included comments such as “The Best of all the parks so far”.

We certainly can. Come and see the friendly reception staff to let you know what tours are available and also make your bookings for you. This is a free service and almost all tours will pick you up from Kimberleyland.

Yes, Kimberleyland offers Caravan Storage which is popular with guests travelling to the Bungle Bungles, Gibb River Road and Mitchell Plateau. It is not undercover, we’re not aware of any uncover Caravan storage in Kununurra.

If you’re sitting on the fence about taking your Caravan or not, consider hiring a Kununurra Kamper – an all inclusive hire solution – All you need to do is turn up, hitch up and off you go.

Yes we can, we offer a FREE airport pick up and drop off service – just ask our crew.

There are some taxi and charter services available in Kununurra which we can help to book for you. The town centre is a 15 minute walk along the edge of Lake Kununurra.

Reception stocks essentials such as ice, bread, milk etc. There is also the Kimberley Grande Sports Bar a few hundred metres away.

We also recommend the lovely Kirsten who operates Kununurra Connect. She can be contacted on 0484086398 – she offers an on demand service but does prefer pre-bookings where possible.

There’s also the highly recommended Jenny from QuickCollect Private Taxi who can be contacted on 0438682283.

The generic number for taxis is 131008 but we do highly recommend Jenny and Kirsten.

We sure do, just bring your empty bottles to reception and we will get them filled for you. Please make sure the bottles are in good condition and still in date (up to 10 years from the manufacture date on the collar).

Yes we do! Spots are limited though so it is essential that big rigs and fifth wheelers make prior bookings by calling 0891681280, especially from May to August.

Yes you can. The best way to access the river is from ‘Swim Beach’ or like the locals do – from a boat.

The most magnificent swims are from the Lake Argyle Sunset Cruises.

Yes there are Freshwater (Crocodylus johnsoni) in Lake Argyle and Lake Kununurra. These crocodiles are considered safe to swim with and only bite in self-defence.

There are Saltwater Crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) in the Lower Ord River below the gates of the Diversion Dam including Ivanhoe Crossing. These crocodiles are not safe to with swim.

At Kimberleyland we have a resident Freshwater Crocodile called “Gummy” due to his lack of teeth from old age. Gummy normally surfaces around sunset.

If you are travelling from the Northern Territory there are quarantine restrictions on fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as honey and other items.

Please refer to the AQIS website for more details by clicking here.

There are NO restrictions travelling from Western Australia into the Northern Territory.

Yes there are – however – in April 2021 the State Government granted an exemption for bulk alcohol purchases for tourists visiting remote parts of the Kimberley. There’s a couple of things to be aware of. Firstly, how to exempt yourself and secondly, the tighter bottle shop hours.

Tourists will be required to provide their residential address, address where the liquor is being taken, and their vehicle registration number on purchase.

Bottle shops in Kununurra are open from 12pm to 8pm, Monday to Saturday (although they actually shut at 6pm), and require a drivers licence or other ID to be presented. ID is scanned into the Takeaway Alochol Management System (TAMS) and all records are wiped daily. It’s to stop double-purchasing from both bottle shops. These restrictions can change so for the most up to date info go to the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor’s official restrictions. If you want to do a bulk pre-order or have any questions for the Kununurra-locally owned bottle shop (the Liquor Barren drive-thru) just give Darren an email on [email protected].

The other alternative is driving out to the Hoochery Distillery who are about 15km out of town. From what we understand, each person can purchase 3 bottles of sprits from their boutique distillery. There’s rum, white rum, gins, whiskey, liquers etc. You will be required to participate in the TAMS process and will not be able to purchase more alcohol from the other bottle shops on the same day. The Hoochery have recently launched their new pre-mix cans of Mojito, Seltzer and gin tonics which are available to buy there, they were only released in September 2024 so we’re not sure what the volume limits are. Best just pop out and see for yourself.

There are 3.

One is a Discovery Parks – Lake Kununurra (formerly known as Kona Caravan Park). Discovery Lake Kununurra are one of the G’Day Parks corporate owned caravan parks.

Like the majority of G’Day Parks, Kimberleyland is independently owned.

Kimberleyland is the longest, continually family owned Caravan Park in Kununurra.

Hidden Valley Kununurra Caravan Park (previously Hidden Valley Mirima Caravan Park) has recently purchased by SummerStar Parks and they also participate in the G’Day program. They are pet (and budget) friendly.

The important thing for you to know is that all of these parks honour the G’Day Rewards Loyalty Card offering 10% per stay, with a cap. (Discovery Lake Kununurra and Hidden Valley Caravan Park accept Pets, while Kimberleyland do not)

No, they are not

Top Tourist Parks became known as Top Parks. Top Parks then merged with G’Day Parks. Our park, Kimberleyland, was part of the Top Tourist Park/Top Parks network and is now part of the G’Day Rewards Group (however we remain independently owned).

Yes you can. You can send it to; c/o Guest Name PO Box 261 Kununurra WA 6743. We do have a rather slow mail service and only recommend express post – which can still take over a week to arrive.

The average booking is for about 3 days. We can’t tell you how often we hear guests say that they allocated more time. Before you decide for yourself, have a browse through our Things to Do page.

You can. Coventry Machine Works is the local licensed Caravan Repairer. Mark’s motto is, “Gibb it to us, we’ll fix it for you”. We hope you don’t need to use his services but if you do, he is the best.
