Pay a Visit to the Kimberley

WA’s Kimberley region is iconic, boasting rich Indigenous history and stunning natural landscapes. Explore the ancient rock formations and take in the wonders of the great outdoors.

So long as you’re prepared for bumpy roads and river crossings, a visit to the Kimberly can open your eyes to the Aussie outback. Get all the way off-road along the edge of the Gibb River or uncover 350-million-year-old sandstone formations at Purnululu National Park. Out here, it’s just you and the open road.

PRO TIP: Make sure your off road camper is up to the job before you set off!
