Kununurra – land of big waters – is found in Australia’s stunning and remote Kimberley region of Western Australia.

By harnessing the power of the mighty Ord River, we are blessed with plenty of water, and do we make the most of it! Lake Argyle, the largest man-made lake in the southern hemisphere, is a stunning inland sea, dotted with islands and a gorgeous sunset setting. Talking of sunsets, the sun goes down pretty early here, so get yourself into a good spot by 4.30, take a picnic, sit at a waterside bar or get on a boat for something super instagrammable. Take a cruise on Lake Kununurra, winding through the stunning cliffs and rapids, and look out for brolgas, jabiru and freshwater crocs.

Looking to get even more up close and personal to nature? Head down the lower Ord, where you can try and catch a barramundi and spot some Saltwater crocodiles.

Purnululu is one of just 20 World Heritage sites in Australia, and it’s just down the road (in Kimberley kilometres!). A mere 300ks by road or a short flight will get you to the home of the Bungle Bungles. Remember ‘Still Call Australia Home’? Part of that was filmed here. Take a walk, camp or enjoy a luxury lodge.

Make sure you spend time at El Questro, a spectacular wilderness park 50km along the famous Gibb River Road. Casual camping or high end accommodation, fine dining and billion night skies, the choice is yours.

Visit our 3 wonderful art galleries, go on a cultural tour with Miriuwing Gajerrong leaders, try out some jewellery, including the famous pink diamond from the nearby Argyle Diamond Mine.

Explore the agricultural highlights of the surrounding Ord Irrigation Area – it not only tastes good, it looks pretty spectacular too!

Kununurra is a small town, with just 7000 inhabitants, but during the ‘dry’ season, between April and September, the population doubles with people from all around the world keen to explore. Heard of the Mitchell Falls? This iconic triple fall is a flight away, as is Kalumburu, WA’s most northerly community, en route to the breath-taking coast. After a good ‘wet’ season, the waterfalls are pumping and transform the landscape. Surely some of the world’s best looking storms can be found up here!
