The Western Australia Kimberley
A Travel Guide

The Gibb River Road

This Kimberley Travel Guide takes you through one of the remotest, wildest and most beautiful regions on earth.

For me the Kimberleys in Western Australia were love at first sight, and a good enough reason to move here permanently.

That's right, the Kimberly Australia Travel Guide is written and maintained by a resident of the region, not by some tourism business.

That's why the guide covers a lot more than the usual tourist attractions (although it covers those as well).

The Kimberley Travel Guide is an inside look at the Kimberley. Not your usual commercial overview, but rather a trip with a local.

It contains practical advice for people planning a trip, detailed descriptions of popular drives, of national parks and hikes. It tells you about all the gorges and waterfalls and beaches, including and especially the ones that you won't find mentioned elsewhere...

So come on a drive...

...from Broome to Kununurra on the Great Northern Highway, visiting the Bungle Bungles, Wolfe Creek, Tunnel Creek and more national parks.
...from Wyndham to Derby along the infamous Gibb River Road, a Kimberley adventure tour right through the heart of the region.
...to my favourite waterfalls (and let me know which is your favourite).
...to one of the world's top 5 beaches (yep, it's in the Kimberley).
...to the very best Barramundi fishing spots. (Want your fishing photo published here?)

The natural beauty of this region will take your breath away. It is hard to put into words, which is why you will find so many pictures on this site...

On dial-up? Give slide show some time to load.

I will take you to waterfalls and beach hideaways, rock pools and fishing spots, all the secret places that we don't usually tell the tourists about.
You can read about the weather and the seasons, the flora and the fauna, the culture and the geology...
...about must-haves, must-dos, and must-nots, all you need to know to enjoy this adventure of a lifetime.

The advice and the stories you find on this site are for real. This Travel Guide is written and maintained by a Kimberleys resident, not by some tourism business. I arrived here 1994 as an overseas traveller myself, fell hopelessly in love with the region, and stayed...

...and I would love to show you why!

Welcome to "my backyard" and enjoy your stay!
I hope you will love it here as much as I do.

That's me on my favourite Kimberley Beach
