The Kimberley

Where else in the world can visitors experience bright red sands and arid desert scenery, and then turn a corner to view miraculous beaches and balmy slopes? Australia's Kimberley region uniquely combines wildlife, tranquil waters, mysterious archaeological sites and burnt umber sands; rendering any experience memorable.

There's Broome, with its tropical beaches, creamy sands and orange rocky boulders, or Derby with its crocodiles, mud crab and rampant fishing opportunities. Alternatively, venture to the unforgettable striped dome ranges of the Bungle Bungle National Park, discovered by Westerners in 1983.

Further highlights of the Kimberley include enchanting Kununurra on the region's eastern edge, close to the border between Western Australia and the Northern Territory. The destination boasts a medley of untouched gorges and waterfalls, tidal rivers, streams and creeks along with majestic Lake Kununurra and the unforgettable expanse of Lake Argyle. Visitors also venture to the Mitchell Falls campsite and tread the scenic track to the thunderously iconic waterfalls of the same name, which represent one of the most photographed sights in the Kimberley.
