The Kimberley, an ancient land....

The Kimberley and Pilbara region of North West of Western Australia is one of the world's last true wilderness areas with fewer people per square kilometre than almost anywhere else on the planet

Yes it’s an ancient land of pure Australian bush.

Wild rivers, deep gorges, and mountains, are there for you to explore amid the rustic red and green colours which flood the landscape.

It is also home to thousands of fresh and saltwater crocodiles.

These living dinosaurs inhabit the river systems which swell with torrential seasonal rains.

Mother Nature owns this land and if you choose to explore it you’ll be rewarded by a deep sense of connection with your own soul and this planet.

It’s the place to go if you really want an authentic Australian outback adventure.

In the Kimberley and Pilbara region is a million square kilometres of extraordinary beauty, colour and contrast where you can experience the holiday of a lifetime.

With its comfortable climate, scenery to take your breath away and unique flora and fauna, the North West will provide you with more adventure than you can handle and so many wonderful memories you’ll never forget.

Relax on the breathtaking Cable Beach, explore the unique Bungle Bungle Range and the rocky landscapes of Karijini National Park or venture into the red earth country on a four wheel drive adventure.

Take a scenic flight over extraordinary rock formations and magnificent waterfalls, or cruise through the inland waterways that wander here and there across the region and don’t forget to visit Lake Argyle, large enough to be classified as an inland sea.

When it comes to outback adventure, the Pilbara region is an explorer’s heaven.

You can walk the awesome gorges of Karijini National Park and discover rock art engravings on the recently heritage listed Dampier Archipelago or relax alongside the fern-fringed riverbanks in Millstream-Chichester National Park.

You can take your four wheel drive and try your skill on the Canning Stock Route, or find your own secret fishing spot along the Pilbara coast.

It’s all good...

You can explore Western Australia’s unique colonial past at Roebourne and Cossack or marvel at Mother Nature during the winter months (March to October) as the phenomenon known as the Stairway to the Moon occurs on full moon dates along the Pilbara coast.

September to April sees the arrival of the turtle nesting season at Port Headland.

You can watch female turtles drag themselves up the beach to lay their eggs and watch in awe as baby turtles scramble from their nest to the ocean.

Newman is your starting off point on your way to the Eastern Pilbara, with many gorges and waterholes, accessible by 4 wheel drive, close to town.

Use it as a base to go bush camping in Rudall River National Park!
