Kununurra is the gateway to Western Australia’s magnificent Kimberley region; Kununurra is the heart of a bustling community supported by agriculture, tourism and mining industries. Located in the East Kimberley, the picturesque town takes its name from a local Aboriginal word meaning ‘meeting of the big waters’ and is home to around 6000 residents.
Well located about a three hour flight north of Perth, it is the gateway to the East Kimberley. While Kununurra is a fairly young town town, it it sits on an ancient landscape where early Aborigonal tribes roamed.

More about Kununurra
In the early 1960’s the Ord River was dammed to create the Ord River Irrigation Scheme with Lake Argyle and Lake Kununurra also being formed. These lakes and surrounding waterways now service a broad range of agricultural ventures and are a paradise for fishing, boating and outdoor enthusiasts.
Created as the centre for the irrigation scheme, Kununurra has well developed infrastructure including a hospital, leisure and aquatic centre, shopping centre and specialty shops.
Kununurra has a tropical monsoonal climate with two distinct seasons. The ‘wet’ season occurs from about October to April, when most of the annual rainfall occurs and maximum temperatures increase into the 40’s. The remainder of the year is known as the ‘dry’, with clear blue skies, day temperatures in the 30’s and relatively cool nights. This is the peak tourist season.
By road, the town is situated 3,200km from Perth and 800km from Darwin. To the east, the Western Australia/Northern Territory border is a mere 40km away.
