In recent years these legendary desert routes have been followed by more and more adventurous travellers.

Drysdale is a family owned and operated million acre working cattle station, running approx. 7000 head. 2005 is our 20th year here, making our family by far the longest resident leaseholder since this land was first released. The station is open each “dry” season, approximately April to November.

We cater to visitors and offer something for everyone, something to suit all budgets. We are not a hotel, not a motel, not a farm stay, not a bed and breakfast, not a roadhouse, but we ARE an Australian outback mixture of all these things. A service centre for the North Kimberley located close to the Drysdale River. Scenic airplane flights to the Mitchell Falls, Prince Regent River and the magnificent coastline are available on demand May - September.

Accommodation Clean and comfortable motel style rooms are configured either twin share, double or family style. There are also 2 bedroom 'units' with own bathroom which are suitable for four people.

All meals are available from the licensed Homestead Restaurant. The beer garden, the bar or the evening log fire are great places to unwind after your trip, all are welcome.

Fitzroy Crossing is now a small, predominantly Aboriginal settlement, a small travellers’ rest stop and a crucial ford across the still-troublesome Fitzroy River. Today it’s little more than a roadhouse stop before moving on to marvel at the sights the Kimberley has to offer - Geikie Gorge, Tunnel Creek and, most spectacularly, Windjana Gorge.
