From camps in the Namibian desert to monasteries in the Himalayas, Fiona Kerr reveals the most striking remote boltholes on earth for The Daily Telegraph.

Bullo River Station ~ East Kimberley, Australia

Distance from civilisation: 128 miles from Kununurra

“The Kimberley is remote even by Australian standards: an untrammelled frontier ranging over the entire north- west corner, where extreme seasons transform the landscape from arid rock formations and wide dusty plains to thundering waterfalls and swollen river gorges when the Big Wet rains arrive. The 12-bedroom Bullo River Station, a working cattle farm spanning almost half a million acres, is a chance to experience the Kimberley in all its wild wonder. This is the raw out- back on an almost unimaginable scale – the nearest neighbours are a three- hour drive away. Every day the 2,000-strong Brahman-cross herd is mustered across the Top End terrain – guests can join the team to see how it happens, all while keeping an eye out for wallabies, dingoes and wild buffalo. There’s deep Aboriginal history here too, with around 200 rock-art sites hidden among the station’s cliffs and ridge lines created by the area’s Miriuwung-Gajerrong ancestors. From £739pp, all inclusive, with private guiding activities and scenic helicopter tour.”
