Wildlife
Wildlife of the Kimberley
Brolga
Australia’s iconic crane, the brolga is instantly recognisable by its silver-grey plumage and vivid red head. Pairs are famous for their elaborate courtship dance of leaps, bows and trumpeting calls across the Kimberley’s wetlands.
Saltwater crocodile
The world’s largest living reptile, the saltwater crocodile patrols the Kimberley’s tidal rivers, mangroves and estuaries. Watching one bask on a muddy riverbank from the safety of an expedition tender is one of the region’s most thrilling wildlife encounters.
Humpback whale
Each winter, humpback whales migrate from Antarctic waters to the warm Kimberley coast to give birth and raise their calves. Between June and October, breaching whales and mothers with young are a regular sight from the deck.
Brahminy kite
With its rich chestnut plumage and bright white head, the Brahminy kite is a striking sight along the Kimberley coast. Often seen soaring above mangroves and estuaries, it hunts fish and crabs from the water’s surface.
