Kimberley

The Kimberley is slightly larger than Japan and much larger than United Kingdom, New Zealand, and even the Australian state of Victoria.  The region has three towns with a population of more than 2,000 (Broome, Derby and Kununurra), and the total population  of the region is only around 25,000.

Named after the Kimberley diamond fields in South Africa due to the two areas sharing a similar landscape, the discovery of diamonds in the Kimberley region has also added to the similarities.

The Kimberley was one of the earliest settled parts of Australia, with the first arrivals landing about 40,000 years ago from the islands of Indonesia and the Kimberley consists of the ancient, steep-sided mountain ranges of northwestern Australia.  These coasts are cut through with sandstone and limestone gorges and steep ridges from which the monsoonal climate has removed alot of the soil.  The area experiences very large tides.

The Kimberley has a tropical monsoon climate and receives about 90% of its rainfall during the wet season from November to April.  Cyclones are common (especially around Broome) and the rivers do flood.  The Kimberley is one of the hottest parts of Australia, with the average annual mean temperature around 27 °C (81 °F).

Animals found here include the saltwater crocodile and a rich variety of birds.
