The stunning Kimberley region takes pride of place in the northern part of Western Australia and is one of the continent’s earliest settled regions, dating as far back as 40,000 years. Steeped in Aboriginal culture and history, it remains to be one of Australia’s best hidden treasures. It encompasses over 12,000 kilometres of coastline, remaining so unspoiled that the Kimberley Coast has been identified as one of the least impacted marine environments in the world.
The region’s unique diversity continues inland with a landscape of remote mountains, spectacular waterfalls and majestic wilderness. The World Heritage-listed Bungle Bungle Range, located within the Purnululu National Park, is one of the Kimberley’s more well-known landmarks, thought to be over 350 million years old. The impressive and multi-coloured sandstone formations with their striking beauty are best seen from the air via a scenic flight from the base town of Kununurra/Wyndham. A cruise up the Ord River is also on many travellers’ lists because of its awe-inspiring cliffs and gorges and path towards renowned Lake Argyle, with tours commencing from Kununurra.
Another Kimberley highlight is its extraordinary waterfalls and the unforgettable experience they bring with it. Mitchell Falls is a four-tiered waterfall carved from the surrounding sandstone cliffs located in the Mitchell River National Park, with the Wunambal Gaambera people being the traditional owners and joint managers of the park. The scene of the emerald green waters flowing from one pool to the next amongst the expansive plateau is breathtaking to see. The renowned natural wonder of Horizontal Falls is another must see, located in the Buccaneer Archipelago region. The aptly named falls flow sideways creating such a unique scene formed by fast moving waters flowing through two narrow gorges and pushing the water so much so it produces horizontal waterfalls, resulting in a truly natural phenomenon.
Experiencing this magical part of Australia and some of its finest secrets aboard the opulent and intimate small ship, make Silversea’s ‘Door to Door’ Darwin to Broome cruise an undeniable choice.
