Writing for The Australian, Louise Goldsbury contemplates the old with the new during a stay at iconic Kimberley luxury lodge, El Questro Homestead in a recent article ‘Old times, new beginnings’. A remote oasis, sited cliffside, with a bird’s eye view of the ancient Chamberlain River and Gorge, the Homestead has its sights set to the future.

“East Kimberley’s legendary luxury lodge was bought in April 2021 by a company better known for caravan parks and with the unglamorous name G’Day Group. But for anyone concerned about its intentions, chief executive Grant Wilckens is quick to reassure: “El Questro is famous for good reason, and we don’t want to do anything to change what makes the property so special.” The purchase brings the outback icon back into Australian hands – “a proud moment”, he says. “It’s an honour to preside over El Questro; it truly is a magical place. As custodians of this precious land, we will be committed to its preservation, educating others about its cultural importance, and proudly sharing its beauty with our guests.” – Louise Goldsbury, The Australian.
