Why North Western Australia?
Have you ever envisioned yourself resting inside a cave? While that might seem like a thought from ancient times, in the present day, spending a night in caves can be quite extraordinary and perhaps even a bit daunting. Fortunately, today’s modern advancements have made such experiences achievable.
Transforming a cave into a hotel is now a reality. A notable example of this can be found in Coober Pedy, located in the Outback of South Australia.
The Kimberly Region has a well-deserved reputation for being a great unspoilt wilderness. The beating heart of this place pulsates to its own rhythm with its flora, fauna, vast open landscapes and plunging gorges. Many people kick off their tour to The Kimberley with a stay in cosmopolitan, laid back Broome followed by a stop at the frontier towns of Halls Creek and Fitzroy Crossing.

In addition, there are many sites dotted around that still exploit the staggering natural mineral wealth of the country, where the intrepid traveller can stay and learn more about the mining of diamonds.
The Pilbara Region is an ancient land, often called the ‘engine room’ of Australia thanks to its natural wealth of oil, minerals, salt and metals.
