In July, we had the privilege of welcoming Rowena, Delphine and Jess—Traditional Owners of Mayala Country—aboard Kimberley Xplorer as they visited their Country.

Over the course of their time with us, they shared stories of growing up on Mayala Country—where their parents and grandparents lived, how families travelled between the islands and why each place held such significance. They spoke about visiting these places throughout their lives, sharing memories from childhood through to today. It was a genuine privilege for our crew to sit, listen and learn from those stories.

Experiences like this remind us that every visit to the Kimberley is about so much more than the scenery. We feel incredibly fortunate that Rowena, Delphine and Jess were so generous in sharing their knowledge and that we were able to play a small part in such a meaningful visit.

There was also a very special purpose behind this visit. While we can't share the details just yet, we're looking forward to telling you more once it has been announced.

If you'd like to learn more about the Mayala people and their Country, we encourage you to visit their website:

Thank you, Rowena, Delphine and Jess. It was an honour to have you aboard Kimberley Xplorer. 💙
