Yes, a true Kimberologist revels in the outdoors. They are more at home scrambling over rocks up a Western Australian cliff than behind a desk, but one must earn a living mustn’t one? Especially is one wants to go the Kimberley as often as possible.

The Kimberologists in our office can stare at rocks for DAYS. They can wax lyrical on the gigantic red-hued stones that grace the walls of Talbot Bay. They’ll carry on about the huge bolders on Vansittart Bay. And don’t get them started about the amazing fossils that can be found there!

A true Kimberologist knows that the Kimberley is the ancient home of the first peoples of Australia and treats them and their lands with respect. The land that has nurtured generations deserves nothing less.

Each of our Kimberologists has left a part of their soul in the far north – deposited there for the next time they return – knowing that it is safe in the cradle of Australia’s heart.
