Western Australia is one of the six states of Australia. As the name suggests, it is located on the west of the continent, and takes up about one-third of the continent’s landmass (陆地). Though much of Western Australia is desert, its great size means that it has a diverse climate, flora and fauna (动植物群). Its capital city is Perth.
Information about Western Australia, Broome and Kimberley region
Located 2,240 kilometres north of Perth, Broome is a coastal (沿海的) tourist town in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It is one of Western Australia’s most popular tourist destinations (目的地), as it provides access to the Kimberley region’s wilderness areas.
The Kimberley region covers Australia’s northwestern corner, and is well known for its spectacular (壮观的,令人印象深刻的) wilderness. It has a complex landscape that includes great gorges, waterfalls and cave systems, pockets of rainforest and a large variety of wildlife.
