WA

Remote but exotic

Remote locations came under the spotlight at Australia's North West tourism's annual awards ceremony on Thursday night, because among the award winners from across the Kimberley and Pilbara were some of the most isolated and exotic places in the north. Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm, Kimberley Coastal Camp and Home Valley Station featured prominently as all eyes turned to low-impact tourism.

A cheaper Kimberley adventure

The Great Escape Charter Company says its new four-night Kimberley coast wilderness adventure cruise was inspired by cruisers themselves.

Heartbeat of the land

Where to stay and how to a plan a stay in remote retreats? One way to tackle it is with APT Kimberley Wilderness Adventures' Safari Pass or on one of its small-group four- wheel drive tours.

Faraway from the madding crowd

Our plane banks hard over a small bay and below us the water is deep and clear, the rocky ridges blood red, and the Timor Sea smooth and blue to the horizon.

A home far from home

Even by Kimberley standards, this is remote. And by anyone's standards, Kimberley Coastal Camp is very comfortable.

Luxury resort opens up Kimberley

After years of delicate negotiations, hard work and big dreams, the doors were finally open this week on the Berkeley River resort - the Kimberley's newest accommodation option and probably the most remote luxury resort in the country.

Nannup is centre of activity

It's just an easy three-hour drive from Perth and the locals like to think of Nannup as the hub of the South West.

Cheese-making for beginners

Just north of Nannup a herd of East Friesland sheep provides the raw material for a range of very tasty cheeses made by Cambray Sheep Cheese.

How's the serenity paddling the Blackwood?

For something more physically challenging, a 20-minute drive west along Brockman Highway from Nannup town takes you to Blackwood River Canoeing.

Travellers are spolit for choice

Throughout history, the fortunes of nations have been linked to access to trade and control of trade routes, with prosperity not always going to the strongest but to the most flexible.

Bunker Bay and beyond

Like most West Australians I've been "down south" countless times and spent my visits indulging in long, lazy lunches at wineries, lolling around on glorious beaches, visiting galleries and enjoying summer concerts.

Moving on after Malcolm

Malcolm Douglas' Wilderness Wildlife Park has long been a staple on the itinerary of any visitor to Broome, bringing tourists from across the globe face-to-face with the native wildlife Douglas was so passionate about.

The jewel in the crown

Before Broome became the holiday destination we all know and love, the pearling industry was the town's bread and butter. Pearling enjoys an engrossing history and it remains an interesting industry.

Matso's an ale and hearty icon

Perhaps the best example of Broome's past and present combining for stupendous results is Matso's - a restaurant, pub and brewery popular with pretty much anyone who has set foot in the Kimberley recently.

Broome beds to suit all budgets

Broome's world-class resorts have played a huge part in building its reputation as a holidaymaker's wonderland in the years since Lord Alistair McAlpine first arrived in town. However, while there is still many a spectacular tropical paradise to be found, a town as tourist-savvy as Broome knows that a variety of accommodation options is necessary to ensure it's not solely the domain of the wealthy traveller.

Slip into a different time zone

Even people who've never been to Broome could be forgiven for thinking they already know the town intimately. We've all seen the photos and heard the stories of the unparalleled natural beauty of the area, be it colourful Cable Beach sunsets, the rich, red dirt, or the magical Staircase to the Moon over the mudflats of Roebuck Bay.

The final frontier

Some of the Kimberley's wild places can be reached only by air or sea. You wheel in a great arc in a light aircraft over the high red, rocky plateau ranges and drop down to a scallop in the coast with a small retreat, set against a turquoise sea.
