The 1932 Kimberley rescue was an aviation incident that occurred in northern Australia during an attempt to circumnavigate the world in a Junkers W 33 seaplane. After departing Koepang, pilot Hans Bertram and mechanic Adolph Klausmann endured a storm in the Timor Sea on 15 May 1932 and were forced to land in a remote area of the north-western Australian coast. The stranded men spent almost six weeks severely deprived of food and water and were close to death when they were rescued by a search party of local Aboriginal people on 22 June.
