Derby Tour

Places YouMay Visit

• The Boab Prison Tree

  One of Derby's most significant landmarks is the famous Boab Prison Tree. It has a dark and painful association with the history of Aboriginal people in Western Australia. It is an important place to acknowledge and reflect on our shared history.

• Sculptures on the Marsh

  Derby has a wonderful outdoor art exhibition known as Sculptures on the Marsh. These sculptures celebrate the Kimberley's landscape, wildlife, culture and history. The artwork is particularly striking against the vast tidal marshlands.

• Norval Gallery

  A visit to the Norval Gallery is another highlight. The gallery showcases Indigenous and Kimberley art, paintings, sculptures and works by local artists. Pete can also arrange a private one-on-one meeting with Mark Norval, who is a good friend of his. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet Mark and hear about his artwork and inspirations.

• Mowanjum Aboriginal Art and Culture Centre

  An opportunity to learn about the rich Aboriginal culture of the Worrorra, Ngarinyin and Wunambal-Gaambera peoples, including their stories, traditions and extraordinary Wandjina art.

• Derby's Extraordinary Tides

  Derby is famous for its phenomenal tidal range in King Sound, often described as the second-highest in the world. Pete takes you down to the Derby Jetty to see this remarkable natural phenomenon and explains the dramatic difference between high and low tide.

• Derby Museum

  A visit to the local museum provides an insight into Derby's pioneering history, maritime heritage and early development.

• The Boab Trees of Derby

  Derby's main street is lined with magnificent boab trees. These distinctive trees are one of the great features of the West Kimberley. The Australian boab is closely related to the famous African baobab, although they are different species.

• The Journey Through the Kimberley

  Along Highway 1 you see the vast Kimberley cattle country. Many cattle stations have no roadside fencing, so cattle can sometimes wander across the highway. You may also see road trains, sometimes with four trailers and reaching approximately 60 metres in length, as well as kangaroos, wallabies and other native wildlife. This is all part of experiencing the real Australian outback.
