The Kimberley an Adventurers Guide - Ron & Viv Moon
Now in its 7th edition, the 'The Kimberley - An Adventurer's Guide' by Ron and Viv Moon has long been the best guidebook to the area - whether exploring the region by 4wd, as a fisherman, motorcyclist and even by walkers and canoeists.
All of
the information has been extensively revised and is up-to-date with the latest
information on track conditions, camping areas, access details, supply points,
fuel availability and much more.
The Kimberley is considered by many people to
be Australia’s last frontier. From the west coast around historic Broome and
its glorious untouched beaches, northwards along the Gibb River Road and its
many gorges, to the wilderness marvels of the Mitchell Plateau and eastwards to
the man-made lakes of the Ord River, there is a richness and a variety of
scenery, habitat and animal life seldom matched elsewhere in Australia.
It is a region for adventure, excitement and exploration. The few tracks that
cut across the landscape are little used and large areas have yet to see the
footprint of modern man. Nature lovers, fishermen, four wheel drive tourers,
and campers will revel in the wide open spaces, the sheer rugged ranges, the
magnificent Aboriginal art and the pristine rivers and gem-like
waterholes.
This comprehensive guide, now in its seventh edition, encompasses
natural and historical information, as well as details on the major areas,
Aboriginal communities and all of the towns within the Kimberley.
Comprehensive trek notes and GPS points cover the remote tracks throughout the
area, giving access details to camp sites, scenic spots and places to visit.
There’s detailed information on fishing spots and the best places to launch a
small boat.
An exhaustive list of travel operators, guides and station accommodation, along
with important phone numbers, web sites and contacts make this book a must for
those going to the Kimberley for the first or thirtieth time.
