El Questro Wilderness Park is considered to be one of the world's most unique holiday destinations. No matter how much you have to spend, or what you like to do, El Questro has the perfect holiday for you.

About a million acres in size, El Questro was developed in 1991 to provide a truly Australian holiday destination.

The Kimberley region in far North Western Australia is one of the world's last unspoilt frontiers. It is an ancient land extending from Broome in the South West to Kununurra and Wyndham near the Northern Territory border. The experiences are unforgettable: rugged ranges, broad tidal flats, rainforest pockets, gorges and waterfalls. The Kimberley is special. It is not rare to feel the sense of discovery that you are the first to arrive.

El Questro is on the eastern perimeter of the Kimberley and runs for approximately eighty kilometres into the heart of the region, most of which has never been explored and certainly never settled.

Animal, bird and fish life congregate on 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.

Station Township - Bungalows
The Bungalows are located at the Station Township area, on the banks of the ever-flowing Pentecost River.

Ideal for those travellers who wish to be at the hub of the action and close to El Questro's numerous activities, the Bungalows are great for families or those guests that prefer those little extra comforts of home.

Providing air-conditioned comfort with private facilities, a number of new Bungalows have recently been built, tastefully decorated with polished floorboards and balconies overlooking the river.

Conveniently located next to the Steakhouse Restaurant and the Swinging Arm Bar, the Bungalows also overlook the Pentecost River and are nearby a peaceful swimming hole.

So Much to Do
As much or as little as you like, El Questro has activities for the Ecotourist, Agritourist and Sportsman alike; whether it's photographing butterflies or fishing for barramundi. No matter which accommodation facility you have chosen to stay at, your hosts can help you plan your personal itinerary upon your arrival to get the most out of your stay. Boating the Chamberlain Gorge is a must, a 3km fresh waterhole bounded by tropical vegetation belittled by towering 200 ft escarpments. The Gorge can only be travelled by boat, and guests are rewarded by excellent examples of Wandjina rock art at the far end, why not try for a barramundi – Australia's premier sportsfish – along the way?

There are too many other gorges to name individually, all distinct in character and degree of difficulty. They change dramatically with the seasons, so make enquiries upon arrival.

Zebedee Springs is a short walk off the graded road through dense Livistonia palms to a series of thermal pools, a fabulous place to soak and relax.

El Questro maintains a herd of approximately 5,000 head of crossbred Brahman and Shorthorn cattle, which are a delight to spy from ridge tops grazing on the saltpans and pindan country.

Horse treks are a fabulous way to sneak up on all types of Kimberley wildlife. A ride accompanied by an El Questro ranger will be an experience indeed, many of whom will recount tales of the outback from days gone by.

Brumbies, wild donkeys, bustards, frilled neck lizards, goannas, sea eagles, brolgas, jabirus and technicoloured parrots to name but a few, abound the Kimberley region. A day spent with a ranger will introduce you to a number of these and a wide variety of other animals, birds and of course, even the chance of sighting a saltwater crocodile - man's least best friend in the North!

The advent of small affordable helicopters has opened the Kimberley up. A half hour scenic flight through canyons and gorges, past waterfalls, caves and galloping brumbies offers unrivalled sights to earthbound mortals.

Travelling by helicopter in search of the elusive barramundi, is visually enthralling enough in itself, before we tell you about the quantity and size of fish that inhabit these pristine waters, many of which have never been fished before. Barramundi season runs from March to May and then from late August through December, although other fish including mangrove jack, bream, threadfin salmon and catfish bite all year.

El Questro has fast become one of the most sought after destinations for sports fishermen. Or why not curl up under a boab tree with a book, simply soaking up the magic, listening to nature's sounds, breathing the world's cleanest air, tainted only by the delicious smell of spinifex grass warming in the sun.
