When film directorBazLuhrmann needed to find a landscape big and beautiful enough to frame his epic 2008 film Australia, he looked no further thanKununurra in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
Kununurra is a perfect base for anyone who wants to explore this spectacular part of Australia. The Bungle Bungles are within striking distance, as are several other national parks blessed with natural beauty and primeval waterfalls.
The town itself has plenty to recommend it in between forays into the outdoors. First, get your bearings with a walk or drive up to Kelly’s Knob. Enjoy the panoramic views across the town to the hills beyond.
