Wyndham, Administrative center in East Kimberley region, Western Australia
The northernmost town in Western Australia's Kimberley region spans across two distinct areas: the original port site and the Three Mile district.
The town establishment in 1886 followed the discovery of gold deposits at Halls Creek, initiating a period of rapid development and settlement.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people represent more than half of the local population, contributing to the region's diverse social fabric.
The Ted Birch Memorial Youth and Recreation Centre and Peter Reid Memorial Hall provide spaces for community gatherings and social activities.
The confluence of five major rivers - Durack, Pentecost, King, Forrest, and Ord - creates a complex waterway system around the town.
