How many of you actually have travelled the Kimberleys??There are some beautiful spots to be found!If you have been up there, have you got to see Beagle Bay, Cape Leveque, Middle Lagoon, One Arm Point? These places are all on the coast, they are mostly only 4wd accessed, because of the gravel, sand tracks.
Beagle Bay is an aborginal town and its so clean and amazing. They have a beautiful church which is recommended to see! The church is white but the inside is even more beautiful. I wont say what it is because it will spoil the surprise. When you do view inside please do leave a donation. This will help maintain the church. I think you will agree with me when you do see it.
Middle Lagoon, is another hidden away place to be explored. There is caravan park and yes you can bring in your caravan. Nearby is a Bird Park and its really worth going there, just to see the huge trees and tree ferns and lots of butterflies fluttering around in the wild! The birds are amazing. But Middle Lagoon its self has great fishing, they do have hire boats so you dont need to bring one. The Middle Lagoon has everyone amazed, But you need to see it for yourself to know what I am talking about.
Cape Leveque
A lovely area, very tourist minded. No caravans allowed though. Which is great considering we can get the luxury of plenty of space. Again the beach is awesome, but remember if you are going 4wding on the beach, the tyres much be deflated to 30psi. If bogged you will have to pay big time to be towed out and also can be fined if you failed to obey the rule! They do have accommadation of Log Cabins etc too. Dont forget to do the flight by plane over the Horizontal Falls, it is very spectacular!
One Arm Point is an Aborginal town nearby Cape Leveque. Its a very very tidy town and it is a non-drinking town! They have an aquaculture farm nearby which is worth viewing! They grow Troca Shells, which they eat the animal and then sell the shell once it has been polished. The beach is just awesome and watching the tides coming in and out is just awesome.
But please if you ever do go and visit these areas, please leave it how you found it, so other people can view and admire it too!What do you think now? Would you travel to see these spots I listed? Remember there is so much to see off road and it is worth everything!Please tell me what you think and if you will travel to these spots in the near future!

It sounds lovely. I have always wanted to head up that way but i havent got the required skills (dreiving a 4wd etc) so I wont be going in a hurry :'(.
What can you see without going off road? because I want to see some of the place someday.
