The Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley in Western Australia offers a range of unique experiences for travelers. Wyndham, the oldest and northernmost town in the Kimberley, is surrounded by spectacular landforms, rivers, and wetlands, making it a perfect destination for outback adventures. The town is divided into two parts: Wyndham Port, where most historical attractions are located, and Wyndham Town, the residential and shopping district.
Visitors can explore the town's rich history, which dates back to the Halls Creek gold rush. The Port of Wyndham, established in 1886, played a vital role in the region's development and continues to operate as a working port, servicing the cattle export, mining, and tourism industries. The town's museum, located in a building that was originally a police station and then a courthouse, offers insights into its past.
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the stunning landscapes surrounding Wyndham, including the Bastion and the town's jetty, which provide breathtaking views of the area. Additionally, the Moochalabra Dam, located near Wyndham, is a picturesque spot for a relaxing picnic under the shade of a huge Boab tree.
For those interested in immersing themselves in the outback lifestyle, Digger’s Rest Station offers an authentic station stay experience amid the magnificent Kimberley landscape. Travelers can also explore the region with local guides on accommodated 4WD tours to discover its wildlife, culture, and natural beauty.
