The Kimberley region is located in the northern part of Western Australia, extending from Broome in the west to Kununurra and Lake Argyle in the east, from the sea to a bit south of the main Great Northern Highway (Route 1). It covers about 421,000 square kilometres — slightly larger than Japan and much larger than United Kingdom, New Zealand, or the Australian state of Victoria. It is bordered on the west by the Indian Ocean, on the north by the Timor Sea, on the south by the Great Sandy Desert, and on the east by the Northern Territory.

The sixth in a series of outdoor guides, Hema's Kimberley Atlas and Guide helps make the most of your visit to this remarkable corner of Australia. With detailed coverage of the Gibb River Road, Broome, Kununurra, Purnululu (the Bungle Bungles) and many other famous destinations, it ensures you won't miss the 'must-see' attractions, but it also descibes some of the lesser known areas favoured by the experts. Whether you're here for a relaxing holiday or a serious 4WD adventure, this informative book with its easy-to-follow maps is an indispensable companion.
