Yet, it is also home to vineyards, caves, and beaches along the Indian Ocean. So, if you are wondering if you should travel there in the future, the answer is definitely yes!

A great location for exploring the Outback would be the region known as the Kimberley. It is at the very top of the country, bordering the northern territory. It has several breathtaking sites all throughout, such as gorges, rock pools, beaches, and waterfalls. However, you will either need to take a guided tour, which can last between 2 days and 2 weeks, or use a 4WD vehicle, due to the uneven terrain.

Within the Kimberley is a town with a magnificent beach, called Broome. It is a popular tourism destination with hot spots including:

  • Cable Beach
  • Karijini National Park
  • Sun Pictures
  • Gantheaume Point
  • Streeter’s Jetty
  • Rowley Shoals
  • Willie Creek Pearl Farm
  • Sundowner Camel Tours
  • Broome Gallery
  • Gantheaume Point
  • Chinatown
  • Go Horizontal Falls Tour
