Kimberley Atlas & Guide Hema 6th Edition

The ultimate guidebook for exploring one of Australia’s last true frontiers — the breathtaking Kimberley region of Western Australia

The Kimberley Atlas & Guide (6th Edition) by Hema Maps is the most comprehensive and trusted resource available for planning and navigating a journey through the Kimberley — a remote, dramatic, and soul-stirring landscape defined by ancient gorges, vast wilderness, red rock escarpments, and powerful cultural heritage.

Created in collaboration with Australia’s most respected 4WD experts, Ron and Viv Moon, this spiral-bound guidebook combines 20 pages of new-generation Hema topographic mapping with over 200 pages of expert regional content, making it indispensable for 4WD adventurers, caravanners, campers, and off-grid explorers.

🌄 Why the Kimberley?

Few places in Australia (or the world) offer the sheer scale, geological drama, and cultural depth of the Kimberley. Stretching across more than 420,000 square kilometres in the north of Western Australia, the Kimberley is home to:

• The iconic Gibb River Road

• Windjana Gorge, Tunnel Creek, and Bungle Bungle Range

• Vast stretches of wilderness with no phone signal, few towns, and endless stars

• Indigenous rock art and Dreamtime stories spanning tens of thousands of years

• Waterfalls, swimming holes, bush camps, and pristine coastlines

This atlas helps you make sense of it all — while also encouraging you to get off the beaten track and discover the Kimberley’s quieter corners.
