Western Australia’s famous Kimberley region is the jewel in the crown of a state rich in amazing landscapes. It’s a vast, sparsely populated land….imagine three times the size of England and only forty thousand people.
Broome or Kununurra are both gateways to the area. From here you can follow the the Gibb River Road or explore the coast by boat… Two very different trips exploring one incredible land.
Massive gorges cut into the land, rivers that range from trickles to floods depending on the season create spectacular waterfalls and rock pools where you can swim well away from the lurking, prehistoric looking crocodiles. Aboriginal rock art decorates rock faces on the most obscure places. Don’t forget the fishing. Here you can fish to your hearts content though catching a barramundi may take a while…they love to jump off that hook!
I hope you enjoy these postcards from the Kimberleys……

Jenny, I have not been to this part of Australia yet. I would love to take a six month trip and drive, drive, drive sort of Bill Bryson style! Love the postcards!
I would love to go back to Australia and visit the west as well as the east – it’s just so far away! I agree with Corinne, you would need a good long period to do it justice. Maybe once we’ve both retired….
what a stunning landscape!
Wow, how nice! I would love to visit, but I think Australia itself is a 24-hour plane trip or something? I hate planes, so it isn’t happening. I’ll just enjoy your photos!
Visiting from the A to Z Challenge signup page. It’s great to meet you!

None of us really like the long trips we have to take to get anywhere in the world Stephanie but the rewards when you do are too great to miss. I could never imagine never leaving Australia. You are lucky you live in a part of the world where nothing is too far away. Thanks for visiting. I’ll pop over and say hi!
Awesome photos! I haven’t been that far up north yet but would love to. Those gorges look incredible.
These photos look amazing! They made me want to be there.
It is an incredible area of Australia Suki. One that’s definitely worth visiting!
Ahhhh what a place. I heart Aust!! Mr. CtD has been here for work (and play) and I am yet to be so lucky. One day…
One day hopefully SJ. It is an incredible part of our country…I can’t wait to go back there again.
Wow…such beautiful photos or a beautiful region. Sometimes I forget just how varied Australia really is. Thanks for sharing!
It is really easy to forget how big it is too! It’s a whole different world in the Northern part of the country…and an amazing one!
Great photos 🙂
They are simply stunning. We should be so proud
Thanks guys! We should be…there’s not many landscapes that can compare to this one.
Wow, what stunning photos. I’ve heard so much about Australia but never about the Kimberleys. Although I’m still a bit unsure about the gigantic spiders you have down there I might have to suck it up and visit to see this landscape for myself 🙂
I didn’t even see a spider on this trip Calli! The scenery is stunning here…it really is one of the wonders of the world and one of the e\best trips I have ever done!
We definitely want to do this Jenny. Did you go there by boat?
Yes Jan, I was on a boat trip. The most amazing trip I’ve ever done!
Hi Jenny, i enjoyed your postcards from Kimberleys. What an amazing landscape. It looks so raw. The swimming hole looks very refreshing. I found the aboriginal art truly interesting. Thank you for taking us on a scenic virtual tour through your stunning photos.
A pleasure Marisol. It really is one of the wonders of the world…a truly different and amazing landscape. I hope you get to see it one day!
These photos make me dream and hopefully I’ll get to to see the rest of the Kimberley sometimes. 3 years ago I went on a scenic flight from Kununurra to the Bungle Bungles! Amazing landscape!
That flight is amazing Michela. The Kimberleys is a stunning part of the country…I do hope you get see it soon!
