The Kimberleys
The Kimberleys are located in the far north of Western Australia.
It is still one of the most remote areas in Australia. Almost untouched
until today it has some of the most spectacular places to offer
combined with Aboriginal culture that seeps from the land.
Trekking about you can find some of the most wonderful and secluded
swimming holes. Much of the West Kimberley is located in the
catchment of the Fitzroy / Hann River system which measures 85,000
square kilometres. The Fitzroy river rises in the central Kimberley
Plateau where it runs through spectacular gorges such as Sir
John Gorge and Dimond Gorge on Mornington Station. Twenty kilometres
NNE of Fitzroy Crossing, it has carved a path through the ancient
Devonian Reef to create the magnificent and much visited Geikie
Gorge. From Fitzroy Crossing to its mouth in King Sound the river
meanders across its extensive flood plain completing it’s
650-kilometre journey to the sea. The upper sections of the river,
when not in flood, offer brilliant canoeing opportunities in
one the least populated and most stunning areas in the world.
The Kimberley area also contains the Devonian Reef National Parks
of Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek plus the King Leopold Ranges
containing Bell Gorge. Many other features are found on pastoral
leases or Aboriginal community land.
All the parks and gorges can be accessed via the dirt Gibb River
Road that stretches some 700 kms between Derby and Wyndham.
