Places to see

What are the must-see attractions while staying in Kununurra?

It's important to remember that when visiting a place like Western Australia, distances can take on a new meaning and the idea of 'close by' may actually mean hours or hundreds of kilometres. To that end, some of Kununurra's must-see attractions are not within moments of the town centre, but are hours away down unsealed roads. Despite this, the journey is well worth it.

Whether it's taking a boat cruise along the Ord River to soak up the natural beauty or spending your time trying to catch a famed barramundi, it's no surprise that water activities are a drawcard in Kununurra. Just 75 km from Kununurra sits Lake Argyle, Australia's largest freshwater lake. Man- made when the Ord River was dammed, Lake Argyle has 70 islands and is home to a third of Australia's bird species and an estimated 30,000 crocodiles. It is also home to the rare pink Argyle diamond.

If you're looking to really experience the outback, why not take a trip to stay at El Questro or Home Valley cattle stations and enjoy helicopter, hiking and 4WD tours as well as some of the planet's most spectacular scenery. Alternatively, you can take a walking tour with a local Indigenous guide to discover the land through the stories and culture of its original inhabitants.

Mirima National Park is just 5 minutes from the centre of town, and is often referred to as the 'mini Bungles' for its 350 million year old cliffs, gorges and ridges. The Bungle Bungle Ranges in Purnululu National park are 4 hours drive from Kununurra and are a true bucket-list destination, though with scenic flights available the air may be the best way to see them if you're short on time or energy.
