Derby

Just 220km north of Broome on King William sound lies Derby.

Derby developed slowly as a small town serving local pastoralists who battled it's isolation and extremely harsh conditions.

Boab trees are a famous symbol of the Kimberely outback.

Did you know that in the 1890's the famous Boab Prison Tree located south of Derby was used for holding prisoners by police on their way to Derby to be sentenced for their crimes. This symbol of inhumanity is 14m wide and has an opening doorway 1x2M in width and length.
