The Latest Breaking News from Kimberley

Last week, four Indonesian fishermen were convicted for taking shark fins and poaching fish in Australian waters. The four men were spotted off remote Niiwalarra/Sir Graham Moore island in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, more than 150 nautical miles inside Australia’s exclusive economic zone.

A court has been told four men were charged after being seen in waters off the West Australian Kimberley coast just six days after Australian navy crew members had previously asked them to leave.

Police confirm Kelsey Bell is safe and well after being found a short time ago about 20 kilometres from her abandoned vehicle, but the search for Wylie Oscar continues.

In the 2000s wildfires raged in the Kimberley until a huge increase in planned burning reduced their impact. But climate change means that success is far from guaranteed into the future.
