Home Valley Station

22/02/2022

After much consideration and consultation, Balanggarra Ventures has decided not to open the Home Valley tourist facility for the 2022 season due to the unacceptable risk of COVID-19 to the health of our staff, their families and the broader East Kimberley community.

We are very disappointed not to be able to welcome guests to Balanggarra Country this year, but we remain concerned about the complexities of managing any potential outbreak in our remote location and the risk this could pose to our guests. We take their safety seriously and believe that closing for the season is the most responsible action to take.

Any current bookings are offered a choice between a credit or a full refund, please email us at: [email protected]

The Kimberley Echo
“Home Valley Station will for the first time be accessible to tourists over the wet season, with a new culturally-focussed air tour to be launched early next year under new managers Balanggarra Ventures.

Balanggarra has teamed up with Kimberley aviation company HeliSpirit and Wyndham-based Nulla Nulla Aboriginal Corporation to offer a three-night package that aims to showcase the region’s scenic landscapes while educating guests about the culture of traditional owners.

The tour includes guided barramundi fishing, stargazing, and a rock art tour of Australia’s oldest known rock shelter painting, believed to be 17,000 years old."

This exciting east Kimberley experience has been announced by HeliSpirit. An exclusive wet season tour designed by HeliSpirit in collaboration with Balanggarra Ventures Ltd and Nulla Nulla Aboriginal Corporation.

This is the first time for Home Valley to offer cultural experiences for guests during the wet season.

Balanggarra Aboriginal Corporation Chairperson, Cissy Gore-Birch said,

“We are particularly proud to be able to offer this unique opportunity in partnership with Nulla Nulla Aboriginal Corporation, empowering more of our Traditional Owners than ever to participate in the Kimberley tourism sector.

This is our Country, and we are proud to be finally able to showcase its magnificent features on our own terms. We recognise Helispirit for being a true partner and developing this product hand-in-hand with us. It is critical to Balanggarra to work only with partners who value our aspirations.”

The Boab trees are flowering at . The weather is very warm in the build up to wet season but the flowering Boabs could be a sign that the rain will be coming soon. With a delightful sweet fragrance, the glorious flowers of the iconic Kimberley Boab trees are beautiful but short-lived, only lasting a day or two before falling.

We are open for 2 more weeks until closing for the season on 29th October: https://home-valley.com.au⁣
