Diggers Rest Station

A working Kimberley cattle station in the far north-west of Western Australia opens its gates for horse-riding holidays, pairing days in the saddle with life on a half-million-acre run near the Gibb River Road. Guests stay in an air-conditioned homestead bunkhouse, bush huts with starlight showers or the campground, and can add barramundi fishing, birdwatching and a hand in the annual cattle muster. The station stood in as a location for the film Australia. Big country, clear air and quiet are the draw.
