The
Kimberley - The Last Frontier
Encompassing 420 000 square kilometres yet home to only 25
000 people, the Kimberley's attractions are like hidden treasures.
Relive the region's pioneering history, marvel at rare pink
diamonds, view ancient Wandjina rock art and majestic gorges,
or roam spectacular Cable Beach.
World
Heritage Purnululu National Park and the Bungle Bungle Range
Deep in the wilderness lies Purnululu National Park and the
awe-inspiring Bungle Bungle domes. Until 1982, Purnululu was
a secret to all but the Aboriginal tribes that lived there.
Let us take you to the fragile black and orange striped sandstone
domes on a 4WD adventure.
El
Questro Station and Wilderness Park
The Kimberley's most famous cattle station, El Questro, is
a million acres is size and boasts rugged gorges, stunning
waterfalls, thermal pools and a rich pioneering history. Enjoy
a true wilderness experience; stay in tented cabins at Emma
Gorge.
Mid-West
Wonders and Wildlife
Explore the eerie pillars and moonscape scenery of the Pinnacles
Desert in Nambung National Park, then continue on to the stunning
World Heritage-listed Shark Bay, for the opportunity to encounter
the dolphins of Monkey Mia and possibly see the rare 'sea
cow', the dugong which inspired the myth of the mermaid.
The
Pilbara - Land of Extremes
Discover this region of dramatic contrasts, where the Hamersley
Range dominates the landscape, its grandeur matched only by
the size of local mining operations. Visit Marble Bar, Australia's
hottest town, explore the sheer walls and gorges of Karijini
National Park, or cruise Ningaloo Reef to see dugongs, turtles,
manta rays and sharks - a breathtaking event.
