Michael's Birdwatching Tips! 

"I've gotten really into my birdwatching since I've retired, and the Kimberley is just magic for birds. You don't even have to try, just look up from your campsite or while you are on the walking trails and there they are - sometimes even the rare birds that people travel to see. We saw Gouldian Finches!

I brought my binoculars and book with me, and I'm always keeping my eyes peeled. There are also some tours that'll take you out on stations, or on a boat on Lake Arygle to go spot some more, I can't recommend it enough!"

Get to know the local culture

"One of the things we loved on this trip was getting to know and appreciate the local Aboriginal culture. We toured Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek with a local guide, Dillon, and went to the Mowanjum Festival near Derby which was amazing! For us, these experiences truly enriched our trip and gave us an extra perspective on this beautiful country. 

Travelling around the Kimberley there so many opportunities to discover the local culture, be it doing a tour, visiting art centres or staying at a 'Camping with Custodians' campsite."

Your destination guide to the Gibb River Road

Along the way, you'll enjoy exploring tranquil gorges and refreshing swimming holes, as well as warm outback hospitality at the station stays and wilderness lodges on the Gibb. You'll find all the information you'll need on this site - get started with the links below! 

Station Stays and Experiences

Stay in Kimberley cattle country stations

The Gibb River Road is an old stock route, so we were expecting to stay at a couple of stations on our way.  We're country people ourselves, so I thought I knew what to expect  - boy was I wrong! From staying at huge former station with out of this world gorges, to incredible outback hospitality (and delicious scones!) and the working stations. The accommodation was fantastic too - we decided to leave our camper trailer in Kununurra and glamp it up along the way - what a treat! 

Station Stays

At the Kimberley's station stays you'll find all kinds of options, from campsites in idyllic locations, to glamping, cabins, homestead rooms and an incredible luxurious homestead perched high above the most incredible gorge.
