Sitting on the banks of the mighty Ord River, Kununurra (Goonoonoorrang) is the launching pad for a cultural and culinary experience unique to the Kimberley. The iconic Ord Valley Muster unfolds over nine fun-filled days in mid-May each year, with a program of events celebrating diversity, community and the north west’s vast and untamed landscapes.
Old and new collide in this ultimate Kimberley festival showcasing some of Australia’s most acclaimed performers, musicians and artists. Laugh along at a comedy night, dance it up at a street party, and witness the transformative power of the Waringarri Corroboree, held under a sparkling night sky. A major drawcard of the festival, the Kimberley Moon Experience is a magical night featuring a stellar line-up of national and local musical acts set against the idyllic Ord River. Step up the evening with a ticket to the Kimberley Fine Diamonds exclusive black-tie dinner, the most divine way to enjoy the pinnacle event of the Muster.
Having taken out Silver in the Festivals and Events category at the 2024 QANTAS Australian Tourism Awards, and with its warm community vibe, the Ord Valley Muster is where friends connect and memories are made, so take the opportunity to explore this awe-inspiring region further. Fly over the World Heritage-listed Purnululu National Park, home to the otherworldly 350-million-year-old Bungle Bungle Range. Cruise the mighty Ord River or fish at Lake Argyle, take part in an authentic Aboriginal experience, and settle in by the camp fire at the El Questro homestead.
