The Kununurra film location for Australia the Movie was sought after Baz Luhrmann because of its sizzling red soil, wide open blue skies and rugged bush scenery - this place will enliven your senses. Journey into red-earth country on a four-wheel drive adventure, take a scenic flight over extraordinary rock formations and magnificent waterfalls, or cruise through the inland waterways that permeate the region. Kununurra Australia the Movie Tours include all of the regions that are untamed and adventurous - it is the gateway to some of Western Australia's remarkable natural attractions.
Well located about a three hour flight north of Perth, it's the gateway to the East Kimberley. From here visit Purnululu National Park and Bungle Bungle range, Lake Argyle, Mitchell Plateau, Ord River and Argyle Diamond Mine. This off road track journeys through a landscape of gorges, waterfalls and cattle stations the size of small European countries.
Although Kununurra is a fairly young town, it sits on an ancient landscape where early Aboriginal tribes roamed. In fact, the word Kununurra means 'big water' in the language of Aboriginal locals. The irrigation scheme has created a permanent waterway out of a series of waterholes. Lake Kununurra is a year-round playground for water sports enthusiasts. Lake Argyle is so vast it's rated as an inland sea. Explore the wetlands packed with bird life by cruise and canoe.
