This is one of the world's last great
wilderness areas. It's a combination of the Kimberly and the Pilbara
regions and
it contains some of the most ruggedly beautiful country on the planet.
Spectacular gorges like Geikie Gorge, or those of the wonderful Karijini
National Park; pristine sandy beaches like the world-famous Cable Beach; unforgettable
coastal phenomena like the horizontal waterfalls and whirlpools of the
Buccaneer and Dampier Archipelagos; ancient waterways like the Fortescue
River; the vast expanse of Lake Argyle; and , of course, the fascinating
indigenous culture that has existed here since the dawn of time. The
Kimberley is a magnificent, relatively unspoilt region with a rich flora
and abundant wildlife.
Environs
Kimberley wants to keep it that way. Until recently, this region was
protected by its remoteness and travel difficulties. Now, with improved
roads and frequent air services, the Kimberley is being discovered, by
the rest of Australia and the world. Development is increasing fast and
the nature of the Kimberley is under threat. Environs Kimberley
advocates careful planning for the region and the encouragement of
business opportunities that protect and enhance the environment and
lifestyle. The region
includes
Port
Hedland, Derby,
and Broome
on the coast and inland towns such as Halls
Creek , Kununurra and
Tom Price . You can stay at high class
hotels or at some Special
Interest Accommodation from
small friendly B&B or Farmstays to Pet Friendly
properties and many more. The official website is at Australia's
North West .
