Kimberly travels

The Kimberley in the north-east of Western Australia is so distinct from the rest of Australia that some say it is 'another country'.

It's a beautiful but harsh region and is known as a place of drovers, cowboys, rodeos and cattle stations.

It is also a place that derives its fundamental nature from its Indigenous Australian communities and cultures.

This story was first broadcast in October 2007.


Guests

Stephen Scourfield
Travel Editor of the West Australian newspaper and author of 'Other Country' a novel set in the Kimberley, Allen and Unwin.
