Discover the untamed beauty of Western Australia's Kimberley region, home to breathtaking gorges, waterfalls, and landscapes found nowhere else on Earth.

Stretching 660 km from Derby to Kununurra, the journey demands careful planning. Allocate at least two weeks to truly immerse yourself in the landscapes. The best time to visit is during the dry season, from May to October, when waterfalls flow and gorges brim with water.

Navigating the Kimberley’s remote terrain requires preparation. Unpredictable roads, corrugations, and water crossings call for a capable four-wheel drive, basic recovery gear, and careful driving. Check Mainroads Travel Map for current conditions and equip yourself with supplies, including a first aid kit.

Be mindful of the region's wildlife, such as venomous snakes and crocodiles. Follow local advice on water safety and stick to approved campgrounds, as much of the land is privately owned.

Take your time, enjoy the journey, and embrace the Kimberley’s rugged charm—it’s a holiday, not a race.
