Faraway Bay

The Bush Camp at Faraway Bay is an inviting haven, nestled on a rocky hilltop overlooking the turquoise Timor Sea, in the remote and spellbinding Kimberley Region.  Stake your claim on a hammock for the day.  Take a refreshing plunge in the clifftop freshwater pool.  Sit and drink in the spectacular, ever-changing view.  Or, go out for the day – Included in every stay at Faraway Bay, is a boat cruise along the magnificent King George River on board our charter boat. Your trip will take you to within metres of the Kimberley’s stunning natural wonder, the magnificent twin King George Falls – a location not visited by any other land-based accommodation.

Experiences: Walk on untouched beaches, swim in natural freshwater pools, explore the surrounding wilderness, discover ancient rock art, and watch wildlife and marine life in their untouched environment.

Purnululu National Park

The Bungle Bungle in the Purnululu National Park are a hidden world of magnificent gorges, tropical pools, dramatic caves and Aboriginal rock art 250km south of Kununurra. The landscape is marked by tiger-striped, beehive-shaped sandstone domes that rise 300 metres above the surrounding landscape.

Purnululu means sandstone in the tribal language of local Kija Aborigines.

Experiences:

Accommodation: One night in a cabin, with en-suite.

Bullo River Station

Bullo River Station is home to Marlee & Franz Ranacher and their two sons Ben and Franzie.  Relish the opportunity to share their home and their daily lives with fascinating stories and great outback hospitality and will feel like family friends rather than tourists.  Bullo River Station was made famous by top-selling Australian author Sara Henderson (Marlee’s mother), whose American husband Charles Henderson developed Bullo River in the 1950’s, with the story of station life vividly chronicled in Sara’s books.  Since 2001, Bullo River Station has belonged to Sara’s eldest daughter Marlee and her Austrian-born husband Franz.  Marlee has since written her own account of growing up on Bullo and the book “Bullo – the Next Generation” makes for fascinating reading.

Experiences: Spend your time mustering cattle, horse-riding, learning more about the Aboriginal art on the property, fishing in one of the rivers or waterholes, or cruise along one of the gorges.

Accommodation: Two nights in a double or twin share room, with private en-suite.  The accommodation block is near the station homestead.
