Kununurra is a pleasant modern town established in 1960 as the centre of the huge Ord River Dam and Irrigation project. Now the major town of the East Kimberly region Kununurra is a part of the state in which rugged pioneer families took up huge land holdings and established themselves as "Kings In Grass Castles" Well documented in books by Dame Mary Durack. Kununurra is an ideal base from which to tour and to visit the many attractions of the region include a visit to the Argyle Diamond Mine, Cruise on Lake Argyle a huge inland sea and fly by fixed wing or helicopter tour to The Bungle Bungles.
