It’s frequently said that you haven’t seen Western Australia until you’ve seen it from the air. This is even more so the case in Western Australia’s Top End, with the rugged terrain, stunning contrasting colours of the earth, and the sheer vastness of the land only truly being appreciated from a bird’s eye point of view.
The combination of the mountainous and rugged landscape, matched with the ginormous bodies of water and heavy periods of rainfall means that the Kimberley is home to some of the most breathtaking and beautiful waterfalls in the country. These are some of the best ways to get the most out of these amazing natural wonders.
Although Western Australia’s Top End is a rugged, remote and rural stretch of country, there is no need to give up comfort, style and quality whilst visiting the Kimberley. There are a number of pristine, comfortable, and luxurious accommodation options nestled amongst stunning scenery, which offer indulgent accommodation and hospitality to those who like to travel in comfort.
The Bungle Bungle Range is home to the iconic and fascinating beehive-shaped domes, as well as stunning gorges, amazing walking trails, and thousands of years of history. Without a doubt, anyone visiting the Kimberley needs to make a stop at the Bungle Bungle – here are three of the best Bungle Bungle adventures on offer!
