The Argyle Diamonds Ord Valley Muster is a community celebration of the talented East Kimberley region, highlighting its cultural diversity, stunning landscape, and friendly, country hospitality.

It began in 2001 as a simple one night affair – a dinner in the outback for local businesses – but the Ord Valley Muster has grown at an incredible pace, and now features over 50 events across an exciting two-week festival. The Muster’s major draw-card, the Airnorth Kimberley Moon Experience, continues to receive international attention. Staged on the banks of the majestic Ord River, this magical concert attracts over 4000 visitors each year.

The unique East Kimberley may be renowned for its isolation, and wild, untamed beauty, but at the heart of the region are its people. The spirit and generosity of everyone involved shines through, as the community unites to celebrate East Kimberley life.

"There aren’t two better weeks to be in the East Kimberley than during the Ord Valley Muster. The community spirit of the event leaves as strong an impression as the awesome landscape."

"If we allow ourselves to use the vernacular of its landscape – big, wide and sweeping – we can arrive at the proposition that Kununurra defines Australia."
