The Kimberley is Australia’s last frontier

With an expansive 423,000 square kilometres of remote landscape, the Kimberley is a prolific destination featuring wildlife, majestic canyons, freshwater swimming holes and indigenous culture stretching back tens of thousands of years. With the region being largely untouched, the Kimberley is home to an incredible array of beautiful beaches, untouched coral atolls and an amazing array of marine life.

Hemmed by impenetrable coastline and arid desert landscapes, this region is a true wilderness, perfect for adventurers with a true appreciation of nature and wildlife. With so much to see and do, the region is great for solo travellers, families and couples alike.

To ensure your journey includes a touch of luxury, include a stay at the well-appointed El Questro Homestead, perched on the edge of the Chamberlain River. View the Kimberley from a unique perspective, onboard the wonderful True North cruises for a luxury multi-day cruise, allowing access to remote destinations not accessible by land.

What do I love about working at The Tailor?

I love sharing the knowledge that we have collectively gathered over years and years of selling Australia – each one of us regularly comes up with new combinations and twists on itineraries and destinations that we share with one another. With the help of our fabulous product suppliers we ‘invent’ new experiences that enable our guests to delve deeper in Australia. I love the magic that we add to every itinerary … something special, perfectly formed and ‘tailored’ to suit the traveller.

City or Wilderness? Why and where?

Wilderness and for two reasons …. One is because I love the big sky country, I love places where you can see from one edge of the earth to the other. Where the sky is literally half of everything and it is usually as blue as can be. I also love being in the wilderness because we have so much to learn about our continent’s unique history, flora, fauna, bio-diversity, the conservation challenges we face and the Aboriginal people’s amazing connection to country.
