Where will you be based?
You will be based on a cattle station in the east Kimberley, 2 hours from Kununurra. You'll travel in comfort, venturing "off the beaten track" into wilderness areas not open to the public. Explore the wild landscape, have fascinating experiences and meet colourful characters. You'll have your own comfortable Bush Hut or shared Bunkhouse room to retire to each evening and some itineraries enjoy a two night camp in a palm-filled valley.
Approximately 1 hour north west on the highway from Kununurra airport to the King River Road turnoff. Then 45 minutes on a gravel road to the station.
Also in the immediate area and well worth a visit are the world famous bird watching Parry's Lagoon, El Questro's Zebedee Springs, Emma Gorge, Wyndham's Five Rivers Lookout and The Grotto.

Kimberley Painting and Drawing with Michael Herron
July 2023 dates TBA
The Michael Herron Kimberley Painting and Drawing Workshop is open to all levels of artist. Basic materials required: ink, pastel, gouache and collage for works on paper, and acrylic for work on canvas.
Art sessions typically begin in the field at various outdoor locations offering different qualities and views. Initially, you’ll be encouraged to sketch liberally on paper as you observe your early responses to the new environment.
Building on that momentum, you’ll explore either larger works on paper or paintings. Some works may be started and completed on location while most lend themselves to development back in the bush studio (verandahs).
Michael tailors his teaching to your needs and encourages you to take your own path. At times Michael will work beside you, mentoring you through your work and progress in the relaxed, peaceful settings. At the end of the week we cap off the experience in Kimberley style, dressing up for an informal art exhibition with sparkling and nibbles.
$3800.00 - $5000.00
Discounts are available for couples, non-painting guests and returning guests. Call or refer to the website to see if you qualify.
