The KIMBERLEY
An Adventurer's Guide
by Ron & Viv Moon

6th edition

Now in its 6th edition, the 'The Kimberley - An Adventurer's Guide' by Ron and Viv Moon has long been the best guidebook to the area - whether exploring the region by 4wd, as a motorcyclist and even by walkers and canoeists.

All of the information has been extensively revised and is up-to-date with the latest information on track conditions, camping areas, access details, supply points, fuel availability and much more.

The Kimberley is considered by many people to be Australia’s last frontier. From the west coast around historic Broome and its glorious untouched beaches, northwards along the Gibb River Road and its many gorges, to the wilderness marvels of the Mitchell Plateau and eastwards to the man-made lakes of the Ord River, there is a variety of scenery, habitat and animal life seldom matched elsewhere in Australia.

It is a region for adventure, excitement and exploration. Many of the rivers have never been canoed, the few tracks that cut across the landscape are little used and vast areas have yet to see the footprint of modern man. Nature lovers, gold seekers, fishermen, four wheel drive tourers and campers will revel in the wide open spaces, the sheer rugged ranges, the magnificent Aboriginal art and the pristine rivers and gem-like waterholes.

The 5th edition has 288 pages and 50 maps in total, offering a wide range of information and advice on all aspects of the Kimberley, with trek notes to the major routes through the area and everything you need to know to 4WD, canoe, fossick for gold, fish and camp through the magnificent Kimberley.

Comprehensive trek notes cover the many routes throughout the area, giving access details to camp sites, scenic spots and places to visit.
Separate chapters on fishing, canoeing and national parks provide all you need to know for a recreational holiday in the region.
An exhaustive list of travel operators, guides and station accommodation, along with important phone numbers, web sites and contacts make this book a must for those going to the Kimberley for the first or thirtieth time.

The authors’ knowledge of four wheel driving, travelling in remote places and their comprehensive expertise within the Kimberley is bought together in this book so that others will be more able to fully enjoy this magnificent region.

We arrived back from our Kimberley adventure a few weeks ago and found your book invaluable. The book is so informative which made our travelling itinerary easier. What a wonderful part of Australia to visit. Unfortunately it was not long enough but most certainly wet the appetite for more.
Many thanks for sending us the book. Kathy

We found the book extremely informative and a valuable source of information on our trip from Broome to Darwin. Jason and Jen

Let me thank you for the guidebooks. The Kimberley one in particular really helped our trip which remains probably the best trip/holiday we have ever had. David

Thankyou for sharing your knowledge and info with the rest of us traveller addicts. Last year my wife and I travelled the Kimberley for 10 weeks, using your book as a bible. We found it to be pin point accurate. It was invaluable for many many reasons. Ken

We bought the first edition many years ago when we travelled through the Kimberley's the first time (now buying the 3rd edition). We also read your book when we travelled in the Flinders. These are excellent guides and a great help when travelling. Many thanks Marcel
