The Kimberley is one of the world's last great wildernesses — a rugged expanse of sandstone ranges, tidal rivers and hidden gorges spread across the far north of Western Australia, an area larger than many countries yet home to only a scattering of towns.
This is country of dramatic contrasts: the beehive-striped domes of the Bungle Bungle Range in Purnululu National Park, the thundering wet-season waterfalls of the Mitchell Plateau, the horizontal falls of Talbot Bay, and the pearling town of Broome with its Cable Beach sunsets. The legendary Gibb River Road cuts through the heart of it, linking cattle-station stays, swimming holes and remote gorges between Derby and Kununurra.
The Kimberley runs on two seasons — the dry (roughly May to October), when roads open and the days are warm and clear, and the wet, when the waterfalls come alive. Broome, Kununurra, Derby and Halls Creek are the main gateways, and much of the best country is reached by 4WD, boat or scenic flight.

- Is The Kimberley good for families with kids?
- The Kimberley is generally suited to families — outdoor space, accommodation options for all budgets, and a slower pace away from the major cities. The "What else is around" panel above lists everything nearby; if a museum, aquarium or wildlife park is what your kids want, check the closest larger town for those.
- Is there public transport at The Kimberley?
- Coverage varies — major destinations have train and bus links from the closest capital, but smaller regional towns rely on infrequent coach services. The most reliable way to explore the wider area is a hire car or your own vehicle. If you're using public transport, plan around the timetables and check the night before you travel; rural routes are often once or twice a day.
- How much does a trip to The Kimberley cost?
- Budget travellers can do The Kimberley on roughly $120–180 per person per day (caravan park, cooking your own, free walks); mid-range $200–350 (hotel, paid attractions, eating out once a day); higher-end $400+ (boutique stays, tours, fine dining). Fuel is the big variable — Australia's regional driving distances add up. Tours and attractions in the listings above show prices in AUD where the operator publishes them.
- Will I have phone signal at The Kimberley?
- Most named destinations in Western Australia have at least Telstra and Optus coverage in town. Coverage drops off quickly outside built-up areas — particularly in national parks, valleys and along long stretches of highway. If you're heading into remote areas, download offline maps before you leave, tell someone your itinerary, and consider a PLB (personal locator beacon) for serious bush walks.
