Kimberleys//Gibb Road

Graham there are 2 separate local Government Shires that look after the geograhic area called the Kimberley.
Shire of Derby West Kimberley.
Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley.
The WA State Government decided to separate it into two parts, so both Kimberley and Kimberleys are probably correct.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kimberley is one of the nine regions of Western Australia. It is located in the northern part of Western Australia, bordered on the west by the Indian Ocean, on the north by the Timor Sea, on the south by the Great Sandy and Tanami Deserts, and on the east by the Northern Territory.

The region was named after the Kimberley diamond fields in South Africa. This was due to the two areas sharing a similar landscape.[1] The discovery of diamond fields in the Kimberley region has subsequently added to the likeness.

It is an area as a whole as I was told and has been mentioned on here previously.

Doesnt help the OP but if he searches the previous posts he will find links to sites that will provide what he wants to know

In similar vein there are 4 shires in the Pilbara but its still just called that not the Pilbaras.

Graham, it's 50/50 each way whether people call it singular or plural, either way 100% of folk know what they mean, as a West Australian I don't think its really that big a deal, and got over it. Cheers

Ok I'll do the work

Look at thread 77539 and also 77851

Both are on the subject and the first one has links to relevant websites.

At least at first I offered some advice

can't offer any first hand advice but this looks an excellent place to start:
