THE FRONT BOOT

For most Australians , there ' s almost nowhere further away than the Kimberley . It ' s not hidden – it is , after all , nearly twice as big as Victoria and about the same size as Germany . It ' s just in the opposite corner of the continent from where most people live .

For award-winning tour guide Scotty Connell , he wouldn ' t have his backyard any other way . Having grown up in the Kimberley , listening to his next-doorneighbour Malcolm Douglas ' stories of adventure , he ' s made it his mission to know everything about this north-west corner of Australia . That ' s probably why his first guide to the region sold over 10,000 copies .

In time for the beginning of the 2023 dry season , Connell and indie book publisher Exploring Eden Media have updated his best-selling travel guide , 100 Things To See In The Kimberley . This book delves deeper into the indigenous culture of the Kimberley , takes readers further off the general tourist trail , burrowing down into the best bits of the area according to a bloke who grew up there .

100 Things To See In The Kimberley : Second Edition ($ 29.95 ) is now on sale in bookstores – according to Exploring Eden , “ every copy sold plants a tree ”.
