 The
Kimberley coast remains one of the least explored
and most spectacular coastlines in Australia. Perched
on a headland between crescent-shaped beaches of crushed
seashells the view from this camp is across the Gulf
to the Mitchell Plateau, which rises in a series of
horizontal bands.
The camp is accessed by charter flight from either Broome or
Kununurra and then by helicopter flight from the Mitchell
Plateau – the journey reveals the isolation, the sheer size
and pure emptiness of this amazing location.

A maximum of eight guests are accommodated in four comfortable
but simple chalets. Crushed coral and sand make up the floor;
there are beds, table, lamp, mirror, mat and a fan. Bathroom
facilities are not en suite, there are two showers and two
loos, and all are built of corrugated iron on a rocky outcrop
and open to the sky above. The simplicity of it all is not an
imposition but rather it compliments the wild environment and
feels very appropriate to the local style.
The welcoming guest area is open sided with a roof supported
by large timber beams. The eclectic décor combines books,
fishing tackle and beachcomber’s treasures. An open kitchen
and ‘help yourself to the fridge’ attitude ensure a relaxed,
friendly camp atmosphere. There is a salt-water pool in camp,
ocean swimming is not recommended due to the number of
crocodiles, sharks and box jellyfish.
 Meals
are of the very highest standard (and quantity). Dinner
is especially good and usually depends on the catch-of-the-day.
You might be dining on tuna or salmon sashimi, baked
barramundi, kedgerees, smoked mackerel, prawn fishcakes
- the list is endless.
One of the highlights at the camp is the fishing and you can
expect to catch barramundi, mangrove jack, tuna, mackerel, and
trevally. All gear is provided and you fish at prime time and
in prime spots.
If you are not the keenest of fishermen, walks onto the
plateau are a wonderful adventure and provide a very different
perspective on the depth and wealth of Australian history. The
area is renowned for its ancient aboriginal art most notably
Bradshaw paintings, with a confirmed date of more than 17,000
years, and the younger but equally beautiful Wandjina
paintings.
