Destination Profile - El Questro Wilderness Park, Western Australia

El Questro Wilderness Park is without doubt, one of the world's unique holiday destinations. A working cattle station with a herd of approximately 5,000 head of crossbred Brahman and Shorthorn cattle, El Questro was developed in 1991 to provide a truly Australian holiday experience.

A million acres in size, El Questro is located on the eastern perimeter of the Kimberley region, and extends for approximately 80 kilometres into the heart of the region. The Kimberley region in far North Western Australia is one of the world's last unspoilt frontiers - an ancient land extending from Broome in the South West to Kununurra and Wyndham near the Northern Territory border.

The landscape is diverse to say the least - from rugged ranges and broad tidal flats, to rainforest pockets, gorges and waterfalls. The Kimberley is a very special place, where you'll feel a sense of discovery at every turn. Animal, fish and bird life congregate in the rivers and waterholes, of which El Questro boasts four major river systems - from fresh water springs to the lazy salt water estuaries in the northern part of the property. Voyages El Questro Wilderness Park is open from April 2006 - 31st October 2006. Emma Gorge Resort and/or Station Township Bungalows are included within the Flyaway Faraway Kimberley Style itineraries.

At El Questro Homestead, you'll enjoy luxury, contrasted by the rugged Kimberley landscape. The Homestead is an exclusive retreat cantilevered over the magnificent Chamberlain Gorge. Catering to discerning guests, friendly staff provide the highest standards of service and cuisine. Guests are encouraged to choose from a selection of dining locations, from a private cliff top to the Homestead's spacious verandahs, but almost always under a canopy of stars.

Decorated with artefacts and antiques collected from Indonesia and tropical Australia, the Homestead is the perfect place to appreciate the untamed beauty of the Kimberley. Surrounded by lush tropical gardens, the Homestead has a swimming pool, spa and tennis court, for the exclusive use of Homestead guests. Air-conditioned bedrooms have their own private bathrooms and verandahs, with views of the garden and river. El Questro Homestead also offers unrivalled access to the far reaches of the Kimberley in unique style and comfort. So although you're 'in the middle of nowhere', 'roughing it' is not necessary.
