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.

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!
What are the Kimberley accommodation options?
Well it depends where your trip is taking you! Some Kimberley itineraries are based on a cattle station (Digger's Rest) and some are based in an Aboriginal community. Please read the accommodation options for your preferred trip.
Options at Digger's Rest
Bush Hut - has a bed (come have DBL, some SGL) small verandah, mosquito net, ensuite, cool shower, fan, power-point, light, linen.
Perks of a bush hut - peaceful, views, adventure, wildlife, an authentic Kimberley experience.

When you arrive, you’ll see tents erected on the lawns around the workshop hall. The hall has men’s and women’s hot showers and toilets. Tents will be made-up and ready for you - with a doona or sleeping bag, sheets, pillow and towel.
Large tents - We have limited large (4 man) tents. The large tents can accommodate a stretcher for your mattress (stretchers can be requested at booking) or your mattress will be on the floor of the tent. The larger tents suit couples.

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!
Can you wash clothes during the Kimberley trip?
There are washing machines at the station for $5 or $6 per load (cash).
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.
Can you extend your Kimberley stay?
You can extend your stay if there is accommodation available. Speak with Alida at Digger’s Rest on (08) 9161 1029. Please stay on AFTER the workshop rather than arrive early.
Can you Self Drive?
