Kununurra

Destination

Kununurra sits at the gateway to the East Kimberley, a region defined by vast landscapes, ancient ranges and waterways that seem to stretch forever. It’s a place where the scale of the environment shapes everyday life, from the rivers and lakes that give the town its name to the rugged country that surrounds it.

Known as “Big Water” in the language of the region’s Traditional Owners, Kununurra has a deep connection to the landscape and the stories that have shaped it for thousands of years. That connection can still be felt today, whether it’s along the Ord River, beside Lake Argyle or in the red earth and wide-open skies that define the Kimberley.

A bus to Kununurra arrives in a destination that feels unmistakably Australian. Remote, remarkable and full of adventure, Kununurra offers a perspective on the country that is difficult to find anywhere else
