HALLS CREEK: A wild Kimberley town with a 'Heart of Gold'

“Home is people. Not a place.” – Robin Hobb

Halls Creek was the site of Western Australia’s first gold discovery in 1885. This small, isolated town is the ‘Heart of the Kimberley’ and offers a genuine insight into the wild and spectacular Australian outback.

On our arrival into Halls Creek, we made the decision to detour down Duncan Road and enjoy a quiet 3-night stay at ‘The Lodge’ at Old Halls Creek. This unique campground was the perfect base to explore several nearby attractions and learn about the rich Aboriginal, pastoral, and gold mining history of the region, including -
*China Wall
*Caroline Pool
*The Old Halls Creek ruins
*Old Halls Creek Cemetery
*Palm Springs
*Sawpit Gorge

Sadly, many tourists avoid staying in this wild Kimberley town, and as a result, they miss the opportunity to explore the beautiful natural attractions and learn about the rich heritage of the town.

Time to hit the road!
