Major roads in the Kimberley region of Western Australia information
Main Roads Western Australia controls the major roads in the state's Kimberley region.[1] Great Northern Highway is the major road connection through the region, with sealed roads spurring off it to connect to population centres, and unsealed roads offering an alternative route between Derby and Wyndham.[2][3]
The region's main roads are important to the Kimberley, as roads are the only transportation mode within the region.[4] Great Northern Highway is the only sealed road linking the region to the rest of the state, and via Victoria Highway, the rest of the country; therefore, it is particularly important for defence, freight, and tourism. Freight needs include transportation of minerals to the ports at Derby and Wyndham for the mining industry, cattle to ports or abattoirs, and produce to markets (including to the Wyndham port for export) for the agricultural industry based around the Ord River Irrigation Scheme area.[4]
