Happy travelling!

Visit Mirima (Hidden Valley) National Park - Often referred to as a mini version of the Bungle Bungle range, Mirima National Park just north of Kununurra, offers bushwalking and stunning views over the East Kimberley.

Experience the thrill of an abseil – Go Wild Adventure Tours can take you to The Grotto, Andy’s Chasm, Elephant Rock and many more.

Visit Wyndham – the most northern town in Western Australia to see the view from The Bastion of Cambridge Gulf where the five rivers meet. Plus, don’t miss a visit to the Zoological Gardens and Crocodile Park - home of 3,000 crocodiles and five Komodo dragons.

Go canoeing on Lake Kununurra and cool-off with a swim afterwards.

Take a hike - for the walker who wants to get away from it all, the remote areas of the Berkeley River, The King George Falls and Mitchell Plateau offer adventure bushwalking into areas considered some of the most remote in Western Australia.
