9 70 KIMERLEY WILDERNESS ADVENTURES KIMERLEY WILDERNESS ADVENTURES 7 KIMERLEY WILDERNESS ADVENTURES Discover Australia s final frontier. An immense yet remote region, the Kimberley spans over 40,000 square kilometres housing fewer than one person for every,000 square kilometres. With a history of pioneers, aristocrats and cattle drovers, these are the landscapes made famous by az Luhrmann s epic film Australia. When APT first began escorting travellers to the Kimberley more than 40 years ago, there was no permanent accommodation or network of staff so we created our exclusive network of wilderness lodges, with respect for local communities and the natural environment. Today, no one is better equipped to take you here, which is why more people choose APT than any other premium tour operator in the Kimberley. 4WD ADVENTURES KIMERLEY, KAKADU & ARNHEM LAND EXPLORER - 6 DAYS 7 KIMERLEY COAST CRUISE - DAYS 74
