So I'm pretty disappointed to have received an email this afternoon detailing the above mentioned closure
"Dear Home Valley Guest,
After much consideration and consultation, Balanggarra Ventures has decided not to open Home Valley for the 2022 season due to concerns around COVID-19.
We are very disappointed we will not be able to host you on our Country this year, but opening this season presents an unacceptable risk to the health of our staff, their families and the broader East Kimberley community.
Balanggarra Ventures is also concerned about the complexities of managing any potential outbreak and the risk this could pose to our guests. We take your safety seriously and believe that closing for the season is the most responsible action to take.
We have contacted you at the earliest opportunity in the hope that any disruption to you and your travel plans might be minimised.
We sincerely apologise for this inconvenience, but please understand that the health of our community and our guests must be our highest priority.
Balanggarra Ventures will automatically hold your current booking as a credit, which can be used anytime in the next two years. We will let you know when bookings are open for next year so that you might use this credit.
If you would prefer a full refund, please contact us at Refunds2022@balanggarra.com.au and one will be processed within 10 days.
We really look forward to hosting our guests at Home Valley from 2023 onwards, and hope we have the opportunity to share our Culture and show you our Country in the future.
Kind regards
Balanggarra Ventures"
Pretty disappointing that after 2 years, it seems WA is still stuck in 2020 with the covid measures it has in place regarding contact tracing and close contact/exposure site isolations.
Its going to limit that states ability to operate properly.
