The aim of this blog is to showcase the amazing and beautiful, Kimberley. It offers information for travelers to Broome and the Kimberley, Western Australia with photos, facebook news, tours, history, accommodation, weather & more.

A Broome resident for more than 30 years, I have developed a deep and abiding love for this amazing country.  One of the last remaining wilderness in the world, this ancient and pristine country of ours is truly a remarkable place! Enjoy! Amanda McInerney, Kimberley Web Design.

Please note that the tourist season is always busy and many tours are booked out for the season.  Broome is a small remote town and like the rest of Australia is finding it hard to find staff and some of the resorts and cafes are running at reduced times and vacancies because of this. It is essential to book accommodation and tours well ahead.

Broome has loads to offer to travelers on a budget. Backpacker Accommodation offers great facilities with most catering for the 18 to 30 year olds and the young at heart but some offering upmarket resort type of accommodation with gorgeous pools,friendly staff and well stocked bars. All accommodation provides a clean, safe and fun place to stay.

Photo Galleries

A growing collection of my photographic obsession with the Kimberley. So far ..Roebuck Bay, Eco Beach, Port Smith Lagoon, an old pearl shell sorting shed, the old Tamarind Tree at the Broome Courthouse Markets that blew over in Cyclone Rosita, Johnny Chi Lane in Chinatown ..

Photos from my trip to the Buccaneer Archipelago, including the Berkley, Drysdale and King George Rivers and Vansittart Bay. Featuring some stunning waterfalls, a huge barramundi, a hammerhead shark and some bradshaw paintings.

Talbot Bay part of the Buccaneer Archipelago is home to the amazing Horizontal Waterfalls. Water banked up between two landmasses on the receding tide of some of the largest tidal movements in the world, creates the effect of a horizontal waterfall. Described by Sir David Attenborough as one of the “Natural Wonders of the World”. The scenery is simply spectacular.
