Known as the last frontier, this small and relatively undiscovered town typifies the character and spirit of the Kimberley.
Situated on the southern tidal waters of the Cambridge Gulf where the confluence of the King, Pentecost, Durack, Forest and Ord Rivers meet, it was originally established in 1886 as a result of the goldrush to Halls Creek.
The Halls Creek goldrush and the establishment of cattle stations throughout the Kimberley ensured Wyndham was well established by the 1890's with people arriving from the four corners of the earth. 1913 saw the construction of the meatworks & jetty, which assured the towns future and that of the cattle industry, at least for several decades.
Although the meatworks have now long gone, Wyndham still services a huge live cattle export industry, along with supporting the requirements of the tourism and mining industries and the Ord River Project. Lots of the major cruise boats drop in to or depart from Wyndham during their extended expeditions along the Kimberley coastline
Wyndham today has a population of approximately 900 people, and offers its visitors a friendly face and the chance to discover some of its diverse and exciting history.
