Reliable sources have told me that the Berkeley River Lodge is planning to build a 1400 meter airstrip adjacent to the Lodge for the 2014 dry season. This will not only make access to the lodge easier for their guests, but opens up the opportunity for the Lodge to supply accommodation to the many private aircraft owners and aero clubs that want to fly into the Kimberley coast, but currently have very limited places to land light aircraft. (The ones without floats that is).
Friends of “R&R” are already planning to fly their own aircraft in next dry season, stay a few nights at the Lodge, then join us on board “R&R” for a cruise around the East Kimberley, and they can feel secure that their aircraft can be safely left at the Berkeley while they are on board.
The airstrip will be a fantastic asset for the Lodge and is bound to add to the success of this wilderness destination. http://www.berkeleyriver.com.au/
