North-West Kimberley

88,436 km²

Few places in Western Australia are as isolated as North-West Kimberley. This massive, sparsely populated region is almost entirely car-dependent, with no walkable access to basic services for its residents. It is a place of deep contrast, where a small population lives across a huge landscape. While few people reside here, those who do often face significant challenges with income and education compared to the rest of the country.
