Following a sell-out world premiere season in Perth, and regional Western Australia, earlier this year, The Great Kimberley Wilderness virtual reality experience is now showing for a limited season at the WA Maritime Museum in Fremantle, from 31 May to 24 August.
Praised by critics and audiences alike, this groundbreaking 35-minute virtual reality experience is narrated by Luke Hemsworth and produced by the award-winning Australian production team at White Spark Pictures.
Step into the heart of the Kimberley at the WA Maritime Museum. Experience this extraordinary region’s natural wonders like never before, through a fully immersive 360-degree virtual reality cinema. With 7.1 surround sound, it’s as close as you can get to being there — without leaving Fremantle, you’ll find yourself surrounded by:
- Waterfalls cascading from ancient cliffs.
- Ancient caves adorned with some of the world’s oldest rock art.
- Rivers winding through some of the world’s most pristine landscapes.
- Epic tides surging over coral reefs.
Informed by both Traditional Owners and western science, The Great Kimberley Wilderness offers an unforgettable opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring scale of the Kimberley.
Don't miss your last chance to experience the Kimberley like never before — only at the WA Maritime Museum for a limited season.
