Highlights on a Kimberley Tour

Willie Creek Pearl Farm
Willie Creek Pearl Farm is located 38km from Broome. Visitors to the farm enjoy learning about the processes of pearl farming and how the pearls are produced. Situated on the tidal estuary of Willie Creek, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy diverse wildlife and mangrove lined banks.
China Wall
Located near the town of Halls Creek, the China Wall is a natural rock formation which resembles a miniature version of the Great Wall of China. This amazing formation is believed to be part of the longest single fault of it’s type in the world and rises up to 6 metres from the earth.
Halls Creek
Halls Creek is located 683 kilometres from Broome and is the site of the first gold discovery in Western Australia. Briefly, Halls Creek experienced a gold rush attracting people from all over the world. However, after the highway was constructed the town was relocated. Now Old Halls Creek is a charming ghost town.

Another spectacular gorge in the Kimberley, Geikie Gorge has towering weathered cliffs and an abundance of wildlife.
