Broome
Broome , an exotic pearling town with a colourful history , is the base for exploring Australia ' s spectacular North West . Cable Beach , with 19 kilometres of white sand , kissed by warm , crystal waters , is an exquisite setting for watching the sunset on a balmy , tropical night . A visit to Broome is not complete without a camel ride on Cable Beach .
Bungle Bungle Range
Viewed from the air , the Bungle Bungle Range in the Purnululu National Park is an awesome sight , rising 300 metres out of the plains . The orange and black stripes of these massive sandstone structures mask a world of gorges and pools with fan palms clinging to walls . This enthralling sight is ' a must '.
Kununurra
Kununurra is a great base for venturing out to Purnululu National Park , Lake Argyle , Mitchell Plateau , the Ord River and the Argyle Diamond Mine . The word Kununurra means ‘ big water ’ in the language of the traditional owners of the area , the Miriwoong people , for the landscape is dotted with gorges and waterfalls .
Geikie Gorge National Park
Geikie Gorge National Park is the most accessible national park in the Kimberley . The gorge was carved by the Fitzroy River through an ancient limestone reef approximately 350 million years ago . The river ’ s tranquil water abounds with fish and myriad birds shelter on the tree-lined banks with colourful cliffs as a backdrop .
