In The Kimberley: Australia’s Last Great Wilderness award-winning journalist Victoria Laurie takes us on an exhilarating journey through the Kimberley region’s stunning landscapes and explores the many unique species of flora and fauna to be found there, some of which are now under threat.

Over 200 full colour images are accompanied by first-hand accounts from those who know and love the region, including traditional owners, scientists and tour operators, whose expert opinion on this biodiversity hotspot highlights the importance of its preservation.

Iconic regions and landscapes covered in The Kimberley include: Broome, Dampier Peninsula, Fitzroy River, Windjana Gorge, Geikie Gorge, King Leopold Ranges, Durack Range, Mornington, Mitchell Plateau, Prince Regent River, Kalumburu, Drysdale River, Wyndham, Kununurra, Lake Argyle, Purnululu, Halls Creek, Wolfe Creek, and Lake Gregory.
