Kimberleys Australia at 300,000 square kilometres, over three
times the size of England, its ancient and
complex geology presents a landscape of
spectacular gorges, waterfalls and the
intriguing beehive domes of the famous
Bungle Bungles.
The Kimberleys flora, including eucalyptus,
acacia, grevillea and pandanus species is
typical of Australia's Tropical Savannahs
but its outstanding flora are the Mitchell
Plateau's vast stands of fan palms (Livistona
eastonii) and the magnificent boab trees
(Adansonia gregorii) which are unique to the
region. Wildlife is not conspicuous in
this landscape mainly due to its rugged form
and the fact that most rest in the shade
during the hot days. Nevertheless, the
region is home to Freshwater and Saltwater
(Estuarine) crocodiles, while mammals are
most frequently represented by Agile
Wallabies and Antilopine Wallaroos. Birds
are abundant with the rare and endangered
Purple-crowned Fairy-wren one of its prizes.
Indigenous culture
and history is recorded
in ancient and distinctive
"Wanjina" rock
art and mysterious Bradshaw art.
The Kimberleys is for the
adventure loving
tourists, with a wide range of
tours,
restaurants, and
accommodation on offer
including
Services and
Transport.
