The Kimberley – Cruising to the Australian Outback
Covering more than 400,000 square kilometres (an area three times larger than England) and home to a sparse population of just 30,000 residents, the Kimberley region of North West Australia is a place universally acknowledged as one of the world’s last – and possibly most beautiful – wilderness areas. The Kimberley is truly one of the nature’s great jewels. From towering waterfalls fed by the powerful wet season rains, spectacular outback landscapes and a rich bounty of wildlife to the world’s oldest indigenous rock art and the legends of Australia’s pioneering past, the Kimberley provides experiences to fill the frames of your memory for a lifetime.
There simply no better way to discover the Kimberley than by small ship, allowing you to access all of the icons of the coast that are inaccessible by road. Discover the heartland of Australia’s northernmost unspoilt outback. The Kimberley is a completely unique experience.
Stewart's Take
Perhaps the most beautiful and striking region of Australia, this is a must-do down under!
