Coast
One of Australias most famous beaches, Cable Beach in Broome, provides
22 kilometres of white sand framing turquoise waters. A visit to Cable Beach,
whether for swimming, relaxing or watching the sunset, is a must-do
experience on any trip to Broome. Just south of Broome, Gantheume Beach
is popular with the locals, while Riddell Beach features turtle nesting from
October to February. Further north are the secluded beaches of the Dampier
Peninsula and the spectacular red cliffs and white sand of Cape Leveque.
The huge tidal movements of the Kimberley can be witnessed all along
the coast. Some of the highest up to 12 metres can be seen at
Derby Wharf. These high and low tides also create the spectacular natural
phenomenon, Horizontal Falls in the Buccaneer Archipelago. This group of
around 1,000 islands is best seen from the air.
Kimberley Cruising
Extended cruises take you to parts of the Kimberley only a fortunate few have
seen. Many also offer helicopter flights for a different view of the region.
Explore the Kimberley waterways including the Sale, Prince Regent, King
George and Hunter Rivers. Witness the fascinating Horizontal Falls and
Montgomery Reef up close and visit spectacular waterfalls including King
George Falls. See 20,000 year old Wandjina and Bradshaw rock art, swim
in rockpools, fish for barramundi or catch a mud crab.
Beyond the coastline, 300 kilometres west of Broome, Rowley Shoals Marine
Park can be accessed on an extended cruise. The coral atolls offer

The above table shows flight durations for direct flights only. Connecting flights from other

BY CAR
Take the time to explore and discover as you make your way around Broome and the
Kimberley. Whether its getting there or getting around we recommend Avis car hire. See
page 15 for details or ask your travel agent about the great specials Avis has to offer.
Broome, Derby and Kununurra can be accessed by sealed road via the Great Northern
Highway in Western Australia or the Victoria Highway linking with the Stuart Highway in the
Northern Territory. The unsealed Gibb River Road links Derby and Kununurra.
A unique feature of travelling in the region are road trains. These can be up to 50 metres in
length, so extra care should be taken when overtaking them. Many stations in the Kimberleyregion are unfenced and it is not uncommon to encounter wandering stock and wildlife.
Particular care should be taken when driving at dawn and dusk, and if possible, avoid
driving at night. During the summer period (November to April), road closures due to
flooding are common, particularly on unsealed roads.

SUMMER SEASON (NOVEMBER TO APRIL)
In summer the weather is hot and humid and the nights
balmy. While its known as the wet season, the rain usually
falls in heavy, short downpours in the late afternoon and
evenings. Some attractions may not be accessible due to
road closures and local flooding. This is the best t ime to visit
for spectacular sunsets, thundering waterfalls, plenty of
wildlife and less crowds.
WINTER SEASON (MAY TO OCTOBER)
Winter is the most popular time to visit with sunny days and
on the coast, cool nights with fresh breezes. This is the best
time to experience all outdoor activities, with most roads
and attractions open throughout the season.
WHAT TO BRING
The weather is always warm so lightweight, casual clothing
can be worn year round during the day. In winter, nights can
be cold in the inland areas, so bring warmer items. We
suggest you bring comfortable walking shoes, long pants
and sun protection including a hat, SPF 30+ sunscreen,
sunglasses and a long sleeved shirt.
SWIMMING
There are plenty of safe places to swim in the region,
including Cable Beach. Salt and freshwater crocodiles are
found in estuaries, rivers and billabongs in the remote parts
of the Kimberley, so always observe warning signs, but if
you are not sure, do not swim. Marine stingers are most
prevalent along the coastline from November to April.
ABORIGINAL CULTURE AND PERMITS
Transit Permits to visit Indigenous communities are granted
through the Aboriginal Lands Trust. However, it is best to
choose a tour where operators already have permission to
enter the land. Help preserve Indigenous sites by avoiding
touching or stepping on these areas.
CUSTOMER CARE SERVICE
We want your holiday to be memorable for all the right
reasons, so its comforting to know that if things dont go
exactly to plan, our Customer Care team is here to help you.
