We were lucky enough to have a fantastic and intimate tour through Mirima National Park with local legend Ted Carlton. We learned about the local flora and fauna, the history of the land, and saw a number of historical rock paintings up and close. Afterwards, Ted and his nephew Milton took us through the art centre to explore the history of the artefacts, taste some baobab fruit, damper and bush honey (incredible!). To top it all off, Ted played us some didgeridoo as we sat around the table. An incredible experience, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

The AWARD WINNING BROOME HERITAGE CENTRE’S Relationships Exhibition, Heritage listed ‘Old Convent’ building and Garden of Healing offers a unique window into the Kimberley’s pioneering past and the relationships between its Asian, Aboriginal and European people. View the significant Kimberley photographic collection displayed in one of Broome’s remaining few Japanese ‘Shinkabe’ buildings, visit the original foundation site where the Sisters lived in 1908 and wander the paths into tranquil garden-rooms to see native fruit trees and listen to narratives on the audio stations.

This Centre is a wonderful collection of an enormous amount of information regarding the provision of health services by nuns at Beagle Bay. I spent a number of hours there and would certainly go back.

Derby's Norval Gallery is run by a Kimberley artist husband and wife team Mark and Mary Norval. The gallery showcases their own insightful work as well as the artwork of many indigenous artists from the amazing Kimberley region of Western Australia. All of the artists are happy to talk about their unique artwork and are willing to share their painting techniques and ideas whilst being watched at work by visitors to the gallery. Other must see highlights of the gallery include, Australia's best historical carved Boab Nut display, an extensive collection of rare and beautiful sea shells and locally designed Boab tree inspired jewellery. For the music buffs there is a collection of 5000 of the best LPs ever recorded. The Lonely Planet Australian travel guide for 2012 rated Norval Gallery as one of its top 60 "top choice must see" destinations Australia wide. The gallery is closed during the months of November December and January

What an amazing gallery and what wonderful people involved. Could not believe how accomodating and friendly everyone was, the most amazing art ever and Mark himself very happy to chat and discuss his history and activities within the local community. He is so obliging to the local indigenous community and they are just a wonderful family all around.. (Adds to the wonder that he supports Geelong in the AFL as well-Go cats)

We did the Ord River Experience with Riverside Lunch tour with Tripple J Tours. This was the best tour we did in Kununurra. The crew were excellent, very knowledgeable and provided extensive commentary on the river system, plants and animals and the Argyle Dam.

Wow, wow, wow, the Geikie Gorge is just spectacular. What can I say you just have to go and see it! The scenery is sensational, seeing crocodiles in their own habitat is so good, the colours, the rock formations, the wildlife, it is all amazing. A must do!!!!

8. Sun Pictures Cinema

Last visited Sun Pictures in 1994 when the movie was Jim Carey in The Mask. Halfway through the movie there was a rumbling which got louder and louder and next an aeroplane was right overhead appearing to just clear the screen and so low you could see the passengers !! On our recent visit only a small aeroplane passed overhead, but first thought was the noise was part of the movie until you looked skywards. History abounds once inside Sun Pictures with old technology on display along with old cinema posters of vintage stars. On our first visit notice the locals took cushions and rugs for sitting in the then, deck chairs which have now been somewhat updated, but in the same style. Remembering the cushions and rugs, "borrowed" two cushions and pool towels from our hotel to make the great experience even more comfortable. Two visits to Sun Pictures this time, one to see a very old movie Casablanca and the other Bran Neu Day. Would definitely go again on a future visit to Broome
9. Wolfe Creek Crater National Park

The drive to Wolfe Creek Crater is not an easy one - you should only go in a 4WD. We had no difficulty getting there on a day with few visitors and had the place to ourselves for a while. It is a short and easy climb to the rim. Walking the crater rim is more challenging and takes time but you get the benefit of different perspectives- we only walked about 1/3 of the rim - the return walk took about 30-40 minutes. The walk into the crater is steep but only takes about 15 minutes to go down. It is a wonderful example of a meteor crater and we thought it well worth the drive.
