Sacred Kimberley (Broome to Darwin)
DEPARTING FROM:BroomeFINAL DESTINATION:Darwin
DURATION:11 Days/ 10 NightsREGION:Kimberley CruisesSHIP:Coral Discoverer
The region known simply as The Kimberley takes its evocative name from its most imposing landmark; an ancient mountain range visible from the rugged sea coast. Covering more than 400,000 square kilometres (an area three times larger than England) in North West Australia, is home to just 30,000 people. It is a place universally acknowledged as one of the world’s last - and possibly most beautiful - wilderness areas.
It is a place of magnificent vistas created by towering rock ridges, silent secluded gorges, wide savannah plains and plunging waterfalls which defy both nature and belief. This is a land steeped in ancient Aboriginal culture and adorned with the world’s oldest known indigenous art, the mysterious Bradshaw (Gwion Gwion) paintings. Experience the heartland of Australia’s northernmost unspoilt outback. The Kimberley is a completely unique experience.
