Introduction
Covering an area of almost half-a-million square kilometres, Western Australia's Kimberley is a region of otherworldly adventures and stunning natural phenomena. Winding rivers and ancient gorges teem with wild game fish, while the coast is haven for marine life and unique bird species. One of the least populated places on Earth, the Kimberley's pristine wilderness is truly awe-inspiring, with infinite vistas and highlights which range from the Gyorn Gyorn Paintings at the mysterious Bradshaws site - the world's oldest discovered indigenous art – to game fishing on the mighty Regent River.
The region's huge tidal range also offers up several natural phenomenon, including the Horizontal Falls, where powerful tidal currents surge through narrow coastal gorges, and Montgomery Reef – 140-square miles of coral that rises from the ocean as the tide falls, exposing a thriving marine world of turtles, dugongs, manta rays and more.
One of the world's best-kept secrets, the spectacular 350-million-year-old Bungle Bungle Range was known only to Aboriginal people until its 'discovery' in the early 1980s, while the rock formations at Karinjini National Park – one of Australia's largest and most spectacular – inspire with a mix of sheer gorges, waterfalls and refreshing swimming holes.
This is a region of dramatic scenery, cultural intrigue and natural wonders, far off the beaten track. To plan your journey here, speak to our Australia experts who can help you plan the ultimate Kimberley adventure.
