Fitzroy Crossing

Destination

Set on the banks of the Fitzroy River, Fitzroy Crossing is a town shaped by the landscapes, cultures and histories that define the Kimberley. For generations, it has been a meeting point for people travelling through one of Australia’s most remote and remarkable regions.

The surrounding country tells a story that stretches back hundreds of millions of years. Ancient reef systems, dramatic gorges and underground cave networks remain an important part of the landscape, while the Fitzroy Valley continues to be home to strong Aboriginal cultures, languages and traditions that are woven into everyday life.

History is equally present in the town itself. Early crossing points, heritage buildings and stories from the region’s pastoral and pioneering past provide a glimpse into the role Fitzroy Crossing has played in connecting communities across the Kimberley.

A bus to Fitzroy Crossing arrives in a destination where the scale of the landscape is matched only by the depth of its history.
