Kununurra Suburb Profile

Kununurra is a remote Kimberley town defined by breathtaking natural scenery: the Ord River, Elephant Rock, hidden waterfalls, and extraordinary wildlife draw visitors from across Australia and beyond. But beneath the postcard images lies a well-documented social crisis: persistent juvenile crime, alcohol-fuelled violence, and a chronic housing shortage strain the community. It rewards the adventurous traveller who comes prepared, but day-to-day life here is genuinely tough.
