More about our Kimberley trips
Where is the Kimberley?
The Kimberley is a large, sparsely populated region covering the northern third of Western Australia. We pickup guests from Kununurra airport. The closest capital city is Darwin in the Northern Territory.
Where are Kimberley workshops held?
Our Kimberley itineraries operate mainly from a cattle station called Digger’s Rest - 130km from Kununurra and about 40km from Wyndham. Digger’s Rest is a working cattle station and horse-trekking business owned by Roderick and Alida Woodland. Roderick is a third-generation cattle man, and his wife Alida is a horsewoman born in North Carolina. A stay at Digger’s Rest is an authentic slice of Kimberley life a spiritual landscape.
What is Kimberley weather like?
We run tours in the Kimberley in the Dry season - between May and August, when the weather is dry and warm. Dry season daytime temperatures are usually between 26°C and 36°C and at night it rarely dips below 12°C. Rain and cold weather at this time of year is very unusual.
What is included on an On The Verandah Kimberley trip?
Our Kimberley itineraries are between 4 and 8 days and include all accommodation during the itinerary, all meals (except for a café lunch on the last day) complimentary glass of bubbles, morning teas, workshop tuition, transfers between Kununurra and the workshop, transport during the itinerary, wilderness passes, use of all camping gear (if applicable) bedding, linen and towel.

Your tour price does not include flights, alcohol, art materials or travel insurance.
Kimberley Dietary Requirements
As we operate in remote areas and on a cattle station (mmm, beef!) with limited access to fresh produce or the wide range of foods people are used to in the cities, we do not offer vegan meal choices. We also urge guests to pause their lifestyle diets as it’s likely we cannot meet your requirements.
We do not accept bookings from guests with anaphylactic food allergies because we cannot guarantee there will be no cross contamination in the kitchen.
We can accept bookings from people who are vegetarian, Coeliac and genuine GF. Welcome!

Is the Kimberley water safe to drink?
Absolutely – it’s delicious rainwater. Please do bring a refillable drinking water bottle, but not bulk bottled water from the supermarket – there’s no recycling and all that plastic/glass creates headaches on a remote station!

Are there crocodiles in the Kimberley?
All bodies of water in the Kimberley should be considered potential habitat for both saltwater and freshwater crocodiles and treated with extreme caution. Do not walk along or stand on riverbanks.
