The Kimberley
Situated in the north-west corner of Australia, visiting the remote Kimberley region is a must for anyone who wants to experience the beauty of the Australian outback. Most of the region is open savannah woodlands and is home to a large number of animals and birds. Roebuck bay and eight-mile beach areas have been described as one of the most important stopover areas for birds, both in the country and globally. There are a number of tours you can take to experience the region's beauty. Most visitors prefer tours which last for a number of days, rather than short stays.
The Bungle Bungle Range
This impressive rock formation is present in Western Australia. It features numerous beehive shaped domes spread over a large area as well as a distinctive circular feature which is believed to be the remnant of an ancient meteor impact. This formation was discovered very recently, and has since gone on to become hugely popular. Due to the remoteness of the location; it is more advisable to take a helicopter tour of the area, which will also let you see the unique patterns more clearly.
Uluru and Olgas
Uluru, or Ayer's Rock, is part of the Olgas, a group of large rock formations in central Australia. The region is sacred to the aborigines, and in recent times visitors have stopped climbing them as a mark of respect for the aboriginal culture. A panoramic view of the area is certain to leave an unforgettable memory for you to cherish.
Kakadu National Park
