The Kimberley
The Kimberley region is one of the most remarkable yet least explored parts of Australia. Located in the northern part of Western Australia, the Kimberley extends from Broome in the west to Kununurra to Lake Argyle in the east, from the Indian Ocean to just south of the main Great Northern Highway (Route 1). It covers about 421,000 square kilometres — slightly larger than Japan and much larger than the UK.
The Kimberley is remote area of the Australian outback, sparsely populated and contains unparalleled biodiversity. It is a hidden world of deep gorges, rugged escarpments and plateaus, interspersed with cascading waterfalls and breathtaking scenery.
This was one of the earliest settled regions of Australia and offers an extraordinary array of vegetation and wildlife, sustaining Aboriginal people for thousands of years. From its scorched Desert fringes and vast Eucalypt forests, remnant rainforest, wild rivers and coastal mangrove communities, the Kimberley is one of the world’s last wild places.
