Kimberley (Australia)

The northern part of Western Australia is known as the Kimberley region, one of the world's last great wilderness areas that is three times the size of England, but home to only about 25,000 people. Its remote and rugged landscape characterised by ancient gorges is spectacular. In the Purnululu National Park visitors are drawn to marvel at thousands of huge beehive-shaped mounds striped in orange and black sandstone that rise from the earth and are known as 'the Bungle Bungle'. Another breathtaking site is the Geikie Gorge, bordered by sheer yellow, orange and grey rock walls, which have been shaped by the waters of the Fitzroy River. The main coastal town is Broome, famous for its pearling industry. Visitors can relax on the soft sands of Cable Beach, which extends for 15 miles (24km) and swim in clear turquoise waters. Further north along the coastline there are more attractive white sandy beaches at the Buccaneer Archipelago.

Language

English is the official language of Australia.

Money

The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies (e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
