Car
If you're starting from Broome, head east on the Broome-Cape Leveque Road (also known as the Manari Road). After about 100 kilometers, turn onto the Great Northern Highway (National Route 1) and head north. Continue for approximately 200 kilometers until you reach the turn-off to the Wunaamin Conservation Park, following signs that lead you onto the King Leopold Ranges Road. Drive carefully on this unsealed road for about 30 kilometers until you reach the park entrance. Ensure your vehicle is suitable for unsealed roads, and check for any road conditions before you travel.
Public Transport
From Broome, take a bus service to Derby, which is approximately 220 kilometers away. Once in Derby, you will need to arrange a taxi or a shuttle service to reach Wunaamin Conservation Park, as public transportation directly to the park is limited. Be sure to confirm the availability of these services in advance, as they may not operate frequently. Costs for the bus can vary, so check the local bus service for the current fare.
Tour Operator
Consider booking a guided tour that includes transportation to Wunaamin Conservation Park. Many tour operators in Broome and Derby offer day trips or multi-day tours to the park, including all necessary transport. This can be an ideal option for tourists who prefer not to drive themselves. Prices for tours can vary widely based on the itinerary and duration, so it’s advisable to compare options.
