About the East Kimberley
The Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley is a film friendly region, the north-eastern gateway to the Kimberley, which encompasses approximately 420,000 kms of timeless landscapes and diverse land uses.
We have one of the oldest (Wyndham) and one of the newest (Kununurra) towns in Western Australia. We have proudly hosted the 'Faraway Downs' location shoot for Baz Luhrmann’s film Australia starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. More recently the East Kimberley was home to Bunya Productions' multi award winning mini series Mystery Road starring Judy Davis and Aaron Pedersen. Bunya Productions also chose the East Kimberley for the production of Satellite Boy and Mad Bastards.
