El Questro Wilderness Park - Western Australia
Baz Luhrmann chose to film some of the pivotal scenes for Australia at El Questro, a working cattle station on more than one million acres. This wilderness park encompasses some of the Kimberley region’s most breathtaking and untouched scenery including wide tidal flats, fields of boab trees, and pockets of lush gorges and waterfalls. El Questro is also home to the Cockburn Range, a round rock formation rich with deep gorges and permanent pools that can be explored by four-wheel drive, on private bushwalking tours, or via scenic helicopter flights. Travelers can also relax in Zebedee Thermal Springs, warmed by water rising up through the earth from the tectonic plates below.
For a romantic adventure, visit El Questro Homestead—an exclusive six-suite retreat cantilevered over the magnificent Chamberlain Gorge. Sitting in contrast to Western Australia’s rugged Kimberley landscape, El Questro offers five star service to travelers seeking relaxation and privacy. Guests can choose from a selection of romantic, outdoor dining locations including a private cliff top or the Homestead’s spacious verandahs, to dine under a canopy of stars.

What a beautiful area. I’d love to visit one day. The thermal springs sound particularly appealing.
Hello
Just saw the movie ‘AUSTRALIA’ last night with my family. I’m an Australian living here in Ontario Canada and wanted my Indonesian family to see not only the story but the scenery. They were mesmerized by it to say the least, and my heart ached once again to see Australia.
We are talking about doing a round trip from here, Australia, Indonesia then back to Canada…and I will try my best to come to the Kimberley’s and Darwin for sure. I’ve traveled the ‘Indian Pacific’ twice and lived in Perth, Western Australia twice in the last few years.
Great links and pages relating to El Questro and beautifully done! You’ve inspired me to take a more closer look at the beauty of this area, and our dream to visit the region soon.
Kind Regards
Eric and Anita Heyblom
