Built on the Dessert family farm just outside of Kununurra, the small pot distillery was created entirely by hand. Everything, from the still to the building itself, was crafted from materials found around the farm. Spike even taught himself to distil, with nothing more than a passion to make good, honest rum. After 25 years, nothing’s changed. Made from Australian sugarcane, wet season rainwater, and yeast, our Ord River Rum’s still made by hand. It’s vat-fermented, pot-distilled, painstakingly aged in oak barrels, and hand-bottled by us. The 300-litre oak barrels naturally colour and flavour our rum, giving you a smooth, tropical flavour, with an oaky finish. Come out for tastings of our Award-winning rums or for our delicious home-made cakes. Better yet from May onwards until Mid-September come out and enjoy one of our yummy lunches while relaxing in our beer garden. We are well worth the drive (15km out of town along Weaber Plains Road)

Established in 2001, Artlandish is a family owned business showcasing hundreds of artworks from leading & emerging artists representing all major Aboriginal Art regions of Australia including a huge range of local ochre artworks unique to the Kimberley. Many local artists paint in house & most days you will find artists visiting or painting at the gallery. We work directly with many artists locally & source art from other regions via art centres & ethical, well know suppliers. Artists we deal directly with are always paid up front on completion of artworks. They are not required to wait until the art has sold for payment. In the last 16 years we've paid out over 2 million dollars to artists that has been injected directly into local Indigenous communities. We are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality authentic artworks, exceptional customer service and true value for money. Please drop in & say hi if you're in Kununurra or visit us online anytime.

The Homestead was built in 1896 by the Durack family, and would have been a very impressive building at the time, with a cool breeze corridor going through the house and 6 rooms coming off it. Relocated in the early 1970s when Lake Argyle was created, the Museum is a testimony to the pioneering spirit of the first European settlers in the Kimberley, and contains many artefacts, an updated family tree, a video showing how the Argyle Dam was created. The Museum is a great place to learn about the history of the Kimberley region, take a coffee break in the relaxing garden, look out for the resident Bower birds and buy some unique souvenirs. The Museum is open between April 1st and September 30th.
