About the Kimberleys

King George Falls on the Kimberley coast Mitchell Falls truly is one of the Kimberley's best kept secrets

The Kimberley region is enticing, captivating, and a true reflection of nature. It is easy to lose and find yourself in Kimberley country; where the ocean meets the desert; where the sun sets and rises over magnificent landscape; and where humans and animals coexist in outback bliss. The Kimberley encompasses over 400,000 square metres of stunning scenery and rugged country. For nature and adventure loving tourists, the Kimberley is the perfect destination.

The townships which inhabit the Kimberley are diverse from one to the next. Each offers a new perspective and ambience. Broome is the main town of the Kimberley and boasts a laid back atmosphere with a cosmopolitan feel. Broome’s stunning coastline is skirted with pristine beaches; most notably the 4 kilometre stretch of paradise, Cable Beach. The Dampier Peninsula offers visitors a chance to mingle with the natives and absorb the regions rich culture and historic significance.
 
The Kimberley is one of Australia’s earliest settlement areas and as a consequence holds abundant historic and heritage appeal. The Kimberley is not short of attractions; most of which are natural wonders.
 
Purnululu National Park is an amazing destination; housing a number of unique beehive shaped formations, and the famed Cathedral Gorge.
 
The Kimberley provides ample opportunity for those interested in diving and fishing. The coastal appeal of the region is equally monumental as the regions inland beauty.
 
Pan for gold at Old Halls Creek; the site of the first gold rush. Visitors are welcomed to take a glimpse at the lives of the gold rush pioneers of yesteryear.
 
Explore the positively capturing appeal of the famous Wolfe Creek. The Wolfe Creek Crater, where a meteor struck the earth, is a terrific historic monument and an ode to the universe.
