Australia The Land - Kimberly

Travel to the far reaches of the northwest to the Kimberley wilderness, regarded by Australians as the last frontier. This is an explorer's ultimate retreat. Azure water meets brilliant white beaches and red rock escarpments. Inland dramatic forested gorges contrast with cool secluded billabongs and thermal springs. Flying into this remote place provides breath-taking views of cascading waterfalls carving rivers through a landscape frozen in time. Wing out over the coast and drink in the beauty of the Buccaneer Archipelago-hundreds of islands and reefs, many unnamed, which are home to countless species of exotic fish and more recently the historic Pearl trade.

The Kimberley is also home to the remarkable Bradshaw paintings, scattered over the land, hidden among rock faces and caves. Dated at more than seventeen thousand years old, they represent a lost and intriguing culture. It's a place where exploration on foot, by boat, and by helicopter is royally rewarded. Spend a day visiting deserted islands and enjoy a delicious picnic lunch. Stroll shell-strewn beaches, or inland discover plants and animals found nowhere else. Wonder at the vastness as your helicopter sweeps along the uninhabited coastline. Skim over rarely seen rivers and surprising gorges, waterfalls and crystal pools.
