Kununurra, Agricultural town in Eastern Kimberley, Australia.
Kununurra sits at an elevation of 47 meters among the hills of northeastern Kimberley, surrounded by water resources from the Ord River system.
The establishment of Kununurra in 1960 marked the beginning of the Ord River Irrigation Scheme, transforming the region into an agricultural center.
The Miriwoong Gajerrong people maintain their connection to the land through Waringarri Aboriginal Arts, which represents over 100 local artists.
The East Kimberley Regional Airport connects Kununurra with Perth, Darwin, and Broome, while road access requires 10.5 hours from Broome or 6.5 from Katherine.
The name Kununurra derives from the Miriwoong word Goonoonoorrang, meaning river, reflecting the water abundance in this semi-arid region.
