A low drone of propellers fades as the charter lifts off Broome's red soil, and the coast slides open beneath you — Chinatown's tin roofs, the ribbon of Roebuck Bay, and a lace of mangroves that the flight map calls Roebuck Plains. Within hours the Kimberley shows itself in dramatic cuts: narrow gorges chiselled into ancient rock, cavern mouths that drink the Kimberley sun, and the tidal maelstrom of Horizontal Falls teasing the horizon.
