About us
Rachel & Andrew
We met at Digger's Rest Station in the east Kimberley in 2008 whilst helping guide Digger's Rest Horse Treks. We recognised that this unique location in the remote Kimberley really fostered creativity, confidence, community and friendship. We understood the appeal Digger's held for horse riders and that artists, photographers and all kinds of creatives would love it too. We get such a kick out of seeing people have the time of their lives when they visit, experiencing new things and enjoying the freedom to be themselves. We've since done trips in Italy, Fremantle, Perth, Albany and Tasmania.
Our Philosophy
We bring our knowledge and love of the Kimberley region together with our network of locals and creative professionals to provide an experience for travellers who crave a bit of adventure, a challenge and a journey of discovery. This is a holiday for people who care less about commercial, resort luxury and more about experiencing new things and being part of something different.

I was always going to end up in this part of our wonderful country. My parents were lovers of nature and the outdoors. My father is a real bushie. When I was a kid, he would take my siblings and I on epic hikes through the Blue Mountains in search of Aboriginal cave and rock art, artifacts and other marks. My mother would be there too, but her passion was collecting butterflies and insects (it was PC back then!) which she took home, set and incorporated into artworks, although she never thought of herself as an artist.
Later I worked in insect and wool research before realising travel, music and art were itches I had to scratch! I'm drawn back to this remarkable station in the Kimberley each year because of a great sense of warmth and community there, and to marvel at the landscape. I was a horse trekking guide at the station over nine seasons and I love showing people around the area. I am an amateur birdwatcher and worm farmer who loves to take photos, write music, sculpt and paint. Instagram @bushstonecurlew.

I've been coming to the East Kimberley for over 30 years now. It is a joy and a privilege for me to take guests to Digger’s Rest Station and its surrounds. My time in the region has included operating and guiding horse treks and bush walks, catching and farming crocodiles, being the camp cook and more recently, farming cattle in partnership.
