Exploring Hidden Corners of Northern Australia During The Kimberley Expedition

The World’s journey through the heart of the Kimberley, Australia’s most remote and mysterious coast lying between Broome and Wyndham in the far north region of Western Australia, was an exploration across an ancient land. During the Ship’s Kimberley Expedition, Residents witnessed a stunning and remote coastline that few people can experience. There is no better way to explore the Kimberley than from the comfort of The World.

Montgomery Reef

As the tide dropped, the reef rose from the ocean. Water cascaded off its edges like a natural fountain, and marine life emerged from the evolving landscape.

Freshwater Cove

The tides made for an interesting morning at Freshwater Cove where Residents enjoyed a walk up the beach followed by an afternoon looking for whales.

Bigge Island

The rugged beauty of the Kimberley coast is something to behold, but it’s the caves of Bigge Island that most captivated Residents. The sandstone formations carved by the relentless forces of wind and water house some of the most significant aboriginal rock art in Australia.

Swift Bay

While some stayed at sea level and explored the shallow coastline of Swift Bay in search of rays, sharks, and birdlife, one intrepid group took to the sky.

Helicopters offered breathtaking aerial views of the rugged Kimberley landscape, with its vast red cliffs, winding rivers, and cascading waterfalls.

Jar Island and Vansittart Bay

The expedition’s final landing on the sand dunes of the mainland took the group over the salt flats to the wreck of a C-53 troop carrier from WWII.

After one last look at The Kimberley’s stunning landscape, this time from aboard the ship, The World and its Residents headed back to Darwin in Northern Territory.
