AUSTRALIA’S REMOTEST TOWN.
Kieirrkurra Community.
Without a doubt one of the Remote areas in Australia. Often known as the most remote town in Australia, the Kiwirrkurra Community is situated in Western Australia’s Gibson Desert.
1,200 km east of Port Hedland and 850km west of Alice Springs. Its closest neighbouring community is Walungurru (Kintore). 100km west across state borders in the Northern Territory. This indigenous community of around 170 people is passionate about maintaining its heritage and on the 19th of October 2001 the Kiwirrkurra people gained native title over the 42,900 square kilometres of the surrounding land and waters.
Lying on the flat, red desert, the community is not an easy one to get to. If you are looking to visit the most remote town in Australia, then make sure you go prepared with a 4WD and caravan. Because there is little accommodation and the closest airport is at Tennant Creek around 600km away.
