HOW WE SURVIVED 3 MONTHS IN THE WILDERNESS + Q&A | Full Kimberley Overview

We’ve just survived 3 months of living in the wild, deep in the harsh Australian wilderness. The Kimberley is a remote corner of Australia’s far North West and we’ve just wrapped up time relying on what we could catch and forage from the land and sea to survive out here removed from the regular securities and comforts of society. Here’s everything that went into making this dream possible!

OUR PRINTS ARE AVAILABLE HERE:

As seen in our Kimberley series, these are some of our favourite shots of our favourite locations while filming the beautiful Kimberley. These limited edition prints will be available for pre-order for 14 days, so get in quick if you find one that tickles your fancy. If you have ever thought of supporting the show in some way, well, this is the perfect opportunity, so thank you in advance for your support. A little goes a long way aboard Nakama – Slim & Soph xoxo
