The Kimberley region in Western Australia is a unique wilderness adventure that captures the imagination. Covering nearly 423,000 square kilometres, this ancient region has fewer people per square kilometre than almost any other place on Earth. Hidden in the heart of the Kimberley region are vast wildlife sanctuaries, spectacular gorges and thundering waterfalls. And on its coast lie some of the worlds most beautiful beaches, untouched coral atolls and rugged islands with an amazing variety of marine life. It is also where much of the film Australia was filmed so watch this video to see one of the real stars of the movie! www.westernaustralia.com/australiaway.

The Kimberley Aboriginal Artists is an alliance of four Aboriginal art galleries in the region that are committed to producing, showcasing and selling Aboriginal artworks. As this video shows, The Waringarri Arts Centre in Kununnura is at the forefront of ensuring the ethical trade of authentic Aboriginal art, as well as maximising the benefit for artists and the local community.

The charming town of Kununurra in Western Australia has a lot to boast about, but one of its quirkier attractions is the Celebrity Tree Park. It’s here that you can find trees planted by the great and the good within yards of each other. For example, HRH Princess Anne’s contribution is just yards from Rolf Harris’ which itself is a short stroll from Baz Luhrmann’s.

Matso’s is the Kimberley’s award winning microbrewery and is a true Broome treasure. The range of award winning beers include Hit the Toad premium lager, Monsoonal Blonde wheat beer, Smokey Bishop dark lager or Matso’s famous alcoholic Ginger Beer, all with a local flavour that helps visitors instantly relax into ‘Broome time’.

Australia will hit the big screens in the UK on Boxing Day. Most of the film was shot in the Northern Territory and Western Australia, and the cast and crew spent months here making the scenes look suitably spectacular. But just what did they get up to, and where did they hang out? For more information on the Northern Territory or Western Australia visit www.australiasoutback.com and www.westernaustralia.com.

Baz Luhrmann’s epic film Australia premieres in London on 10 December and will open in cinemas on Boxing Day.
