The General Information pdf explains some generic terms used in the anchorage pdf’s and some hints about boating in the Kimberley. Suggest you download this one first.
At the end of each anchorage you will find our disclaimer – read it before you use the information. You will also find the last date the info was updated so you can keep your copy up to date. Acknowledgment of the contributors of the information is also at the foot of each anchorage.
There are other sources of information on Kimberley cruising destinations – see our Resources pages or instance. Our aim is to provide a little more detail and a few more destinations than you may be able to find elsewhere; and more importantly, to regularly update the information from recent visits by our Kimberley Members.
Ongoing updates of the information is encouraged and anybody finding errors/omissions in the info, or has something to add to an anchorage, is asked to please contact us to make amendments. We are also seeking input on new anchorages, so please help by contacting us and share your favourite destinations. You don’t need to do the writing, we are happy to work with you to publish a new anchorage on the website.
