The wild lands of Australia’s final frontier are a totally unspoiled universe of ochre-red cliffs, pristine white-sand beaches, clear turquoise waters and starry, starry nights.
Yearning to get away from it all to a place where life is simple and straightforward, pretty much unchanged by time and outside influences?
“For us, it was a question of survival but for anyone going there properly equipped for a holiday, it would be simply amazing.

Further north, along the red, red road, fringed with timeless bush and beach, there’s Beagle Bay, a settlement of the Nyul Nyul people, with its beautiful Sacred Heart Church, known for its stunning shell altar of mother of pearl, cowrie, volute and olive snail shells. It was built by hand by local Aboriginal people and Pallottine monks who’d operated a mission in the area in the late 1800s.
The deserted beach is a haven for birdlife, fish, molluscs and humpback whales in season, when they begin their annual migration north from Antarctica. There are unpowered sites for camping, as well as safari tents and cabins. Now, it’s a fascinating spot to explore with mangroves, tidal creeks, small sandy beaches, the horizontal waterfalls, the Buccaneer Archipelago, sea safaris and bush tracks, and a fabulous range of accommodation, with new eco safari tents in its Pearler’s Village just winning a gold award in the “unique accommodation” category of the latest Qantas Australian Tourism Awards.There’s also glamping on the secluded creeks and old pearling shacks and camping and caravan sites.
