Home Valley Station

Home Valley is a 615,108 acre outback oasis located in the east Kimberley at the foot of the Cockburn Range. It is a working cattle ranch and an indigenous training facility as well as a great spot to stop and camp.



After a bit of exploring and loads of teasing about crocs, we decided to camp down at the picture perfect Pentecost River Bush Camp…where the crocs hang out. We set up camp and spent hours scanning the riverbanks, viewing the escaprments and enjoying the bird life. Saltwater crocodiles lazed on the banks fortunately close enough to see but far enough away to be sage. Fish jumped in the river and Brahma bulls and their lady friends grazed nearby. With a almost modern bathroom, life was perfect here.

Stars were magnificent with only a sliver of a moon. Our open air tent without the rain fly allowed full viewing. No chance of rain here for another6 months.

The life of a bush camper starts early in the morning and we wee packed up and on the road by 6:30 only to make it 10Ks down the road with a stop for a flat tire! The Gibb River Road is known for eating tires so we headed back to Home Valley Station to have it fixed. An hour later were were heading west for our next adventure.
