THE TOP END & KIMBERLEY

TOP END TERRITORY AND WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Wild and wonderful, the Kimberley is one of the world's last great wilderness areas. Three times the size of England, there are fewer people per kilometre than almost any other place on the planet. Remote and rugged, its landscape is truly spectacular. With wide horizons, ancient gorges, picture-book rock pools and pristine beaches, it is a special place that will linger in your mind long after you have left..

Three times the size of England, there are fewer people per kilometre than almost any other place on the planet. Remote and rugged, its landscape is truly spectacular. With wide horizons, ancient gorges, picture-book rock pools and pristine beaches, it is a special place that will linger in your mind long after you have left.. See Lake Argyle, more like an inland sea than a lake. Cruise from the dam wall down the Ord River to Kununurra which is the Kimberley's gateway from the east. A pleasant, modern town, it is also one of the largest towns in the region with some 6,000 residents. Visit the Argyle Diamond Mine which produces more than one-third of the world's total production and includes the rare pink Argyle diamonds. Cruise the waters of the mighty Fitzroy River. See where it has cut deep into the landscape producing the wonderful Geikie Gorge that is bordered by sheer walls of yellow, orange and grey. On the coast is the township of Broome, a tranquil tropical spot, world famous for its pearling industry. See the soft clean sands of Cable Beach and clear turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.
