100 Things To See In The Kimberley

Now in its updated, second edition, 100 Things To See In The Kimberley, by local guide Scotty Connell, is the culmination of a life spent exploring Australia’s wild and remote northwest.

Scotty grew up in the Kimberley and has made it his mission to discover the region via air, land and sea. In that pursuit, Scotty’s led elite Nepalese Gurkhas on Wet Season training missions; he’s hiked into some of the Kimberley’s most remote waterfalls and he’s hosted celebrities looking for unique Aussie experiences. All because he loves showing intrepid visitors why his backyard is the best backyard on earth. Inside, you’ll find 100 (plus a few more) of the best things to see and do across the Kimberley, according to a local.

Scotty shares his favourite attractions, campsites and places to eat, so you can cool off in tropical waterholes, enjoy genuine Indigenous cultural experiences and explore incredible natural wonders found nowhere else on earth.
