Warmun, formerly known as Turkey Creek, is an Aboriginal community in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, with a population of about 400. It's on the Great Northern Highway and its roadhouse is a stop-off for those passing through or heading to Purnululu National Park. It's also the base of a renowned Aboriginal arts scene.

Founded in 1998, this is run by the Gija people with all profits returned to the community. The artwork draws on traditional Ngarrangkarni (Dreaming) stories and on day-to-day life. Painting is the mainstay, but they also do prints, jewellery, sculpture and other crafts. They use natural local pigments and other materials, so the works have an earthy finish. You need prior permission to enter, a phone call from the roadhouse usually suffices.
Mostly shaded powered sites with a shower block and grassed areas around a swimming pool. A secure caravan storage compound is available if you want to leave it behind while roughing it in Purnululu. Self contained donga style units with double and single beds are basic (no pets in these), and cleanliness varies.
Warmun is on the Great Northern Highway which courses all the way from Perth, 3013 km inland via Mount Magnet and Newman to Port Hedland, then east along the coast to Broome.
