#101. Visit the Horizontal Falls
Location:Talbot Bay, Kimberley
The Horizontal Falls are situated in Talbot Bay near the town of Broome and north of Derby, this majestic display of a combination of sheer aquatic power and the influence of the tides makes for one impressive adventure on both in the air and on water. It’s an occurrence that simulates the visual effect of a waterfall as water rushes between a narrow gap between two gorges of the McLarty Range which can be found in two separate sections – one inner and one outer – and both are remarkably narrow for this kind of landform.
2. Admire Mitchell Falls
Location:Mitchell Plateau, Kimberley
Long one of the state’s most-photographed locations, as with many Kimberley highlights, the falls are exceptionally remote but undeniably beautiful. Part of the wildlife-rich Mitchell River National Park, its lack of practically any other travellers sharing the view with you is one of the main reasons visiting here is so rewarding.
3. Visit Broome & Cable Beach
Location:Cable Beach, Broome
Likely to serve as the main gateway for nearly any ongoing Kimberley adventures, Broome is a lovely little town in and of itself that not only benefits from seemingly eternally clear skies but brings along an interesting and mixed history that blends European, Indigenous Australian and even Japanese cultures together. Sitting on a peninsula facing the Indian Ocean and originally constructed on the back of a thriving pearling industry, Broome is the fly-in destination for both secluded relaxation and the launchpad for the adventurous.
4. Explore Purnululu National Park
Location:Eastern Kimberley
The Kimberley’s signature national park is a remarkable, remote and entirely unique looking part of the country which was formed over immense eras of natural landscaping, yet only came to European attention since its discovery in 1983. Ever since its trademark spectacle of the Bungle Bungle Ranges has been a key bucket list item on the itineraries many travellers to Western Australia.
5. Drive the Gibb River Road
Location:Between Derby and Kununurra
Previously used as a cattle route, this off-road journey remains one of Australia’s premier 4WD road trips and still conveys an outback atmosphere in which escapist adventure is the name of the game. Throughout its roughly 660km length, the Gibb River Road encompasses a varied and far-reaching range of natural scenery as it conveys drivers from Derby on the WA coast through to Kununurra at the state’s inner border.
6. Visit Cape Leveque
Location:220km from Broome
Cape Leveque has long been another staple of Western Australian tourism photography, with its mixed tableau of stunning white sands against bright red rocks and azure water being an embodiment of the region as a whole. Located at a tip of the Kimberley region’s northern section, it’s both physically scenic and remarkably well-run, as the Cape is home to an Aboriginal-owned wilderness camp which provides an additional historic and cultural backdrop to what is already stunning natural part of the Dampier Peninsula.
7. Cruise the Buccaneer Archipelago
Location:Off the coast of Derby
This cavalcade of nearly 1,000 rocky islands of varying sizes situated within bright, turquoise waters in the state’s north-west is as scenic as it is remote. A far cry from the glitz and over-development of resort islands on the Australian east coast, the islands here are instead more ruggedly beautiful, many with high cliffs, unpopulated and completely undeveloped while rich in flora and fauna and dotted with pandanus and emerald rainforest trees.
8. Visit Windjana Gorge
Location:King Leopold Ranges
Part of one of the multiple standout national parks that can be found in the Kimberley region, Windjana Gorge and its surrounding park is rich in vegetation and wildlife. The gorge itself makes for an impressive walk which is accessed via a cleft through rocks and cuts its way through ancient limestone walls that rise up to extraordinary heights on either side.
9. Cruise Lake Argyle
Location:70km from Kununurra
One of the Kimberley’s most prominent physical features, Lake Argyle is a massive, man-made freshwater lake that has turned into a major attraction in its own right, both for its scale and isolation, as well the dramatic visual landscape it presents. The colour contrast of the surrounding rocky hills against the lake’s water is striking, and the contours of the lake within the surrounding environment appear largely natural – it never gives off the feeling of being man made
10. Visit El Questro Wilderness Park
Location:110km from Kununurra, Kimberley
El Questro Wilderness Park ranks as one of the more diverse – and potentially luxurious – options to use as a stopover during Kimberley adventures. Spread out over an area of approximately 700,000 acres, this is perhaps best be described as a controlled adventure with a certain degree of commercialism involved.
