Located two hours north of Broome in Australia's North West. With its friendly, easygoing outback character, it has become a popular stopover for visitors heading in to the gorge country of the vast north.

Derby was the first town to be settled in the Kimberley and is the main access point to the Gibb River Road, Windjana Gorge National Park, Tunnel Creek and the small islands of the Buccaneer Archipelago.

The warm winters and hot humid summers provide perfect conditions for watching the highest tides in Australia, peaking at over 11 metres. Derby is known as the home of the boab tree, with many large and old trees in the area.

Crabbing trips and sea safaris into the Buccaneer Archipelago depart from the unique Derby jetty. Saltwater crocodiles can often be seen from the vantage point of the jetty.
