Safety Message
The Kimberley is a remote, rugged destination and the distance between attractions can be vast. Allow enough time when planning your itinerary to comfortably travel the distances involved.
Broome enjoys a tropical climate with warm days and balmy nights for most of the year. During the summer months temperatures and humidity are high and it is important that enough fluids are consumed to avoid dehydration, especially when physically active. During exercise such as bushwalking or hiking it is recommended that a litre of water per person per hour is carried. Year round it is advisable to wear a hat and sunscreen when outdoors.
Mosquitos are at their most prevalent during the Tropical months of November to April. To avoid the discomfort of mosquito bites and any risk of infection it is advisable to cover up at dawn and dusk and apply insect repellant. Mosquito candles or coils are useful for burning if outside, but it is still advisable to cover exposed skin, as this is the best protection.
Sandflies become more active in Broome on high tides, however the same prevention methods are applicable as for mosquitos.
Tropical waters can contain various stingers. The two types of potentially dangerous jellyfish are the Chironex Box Jellyfish (this large but almost transparent Box Jellyfish is up to 30cm across and has up to 15 ribbon-like tentacles from each of the four corners) and Irukandji (A tiny transparent jellyfish 1-2cms across with four thin tentacles, this jellyfish is almost totally invisible in water) during the summer months of November to May. Care should be taken when swimming (wear protective clothing - wet suit or lycra stinger suit to reduce exposure to potential stings) and signs displayed on the beaches should be obeyed at all times. Medical advice (call 000 for an ambulance) should be sought should a person be stung whilst swimming.
Saltwater crocodiles are found in estuaries throughout the Kimberley and freshwater Johnson’s crocodiles in some freshwater gorges and lakes. To a certain degree if there are warning signs there is danger; these messages should be strictly adhered to. However, if not signposted, advice from a reliable local authority should always be sought before swimming in rivers and waterholes.
