Itinerary
Welcome to Broome! Or Rubibi, in the language of the Yawuru people, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which Broome is now located. Start your adventure straight away, setting off early this morning as you make your way to Windjana (Bandilngan). There’s a bit of driving today, but the scenery is like no other, passing boab trees (including the famous Prison Tree) and vast savannah woodlands with giant termite mounds. Tonight, set up camp and get ready for your first meal together under the Kimberley sky. (L/D)
Today, you’ll have a full day to explore the Windjana National Park. First, take an easy stroll into Windjana Gorge where you can see the original Great Barrier Reef. There are always plenty of freshwater crocs to see here (but no swimming, of course). After lunch, drive to Tunnel Creek (Dimalurru). Here, you’ll venture into the tunnel and wade through the water to the other side. Return to your campsite for another night at Windjana. (B/L/D)
Bell Gorge is home to a stunning cascade of water flowing from the previous wet season rains that fall in the King Leopold Ranges. It’s a spectacular spot for a swim and one of the most photographed waterholes in the Kimberley! Today, you’ll head here and soak in the natural scenery. Take your time and enjoy the beauty of this incredible spot before the drive to your next campsite at Mt Barnett Station on the banks of Manning Creek. (B/L/D)
It’s an early start today to make the most of the walking trail to Manning Gorge and Falls. There’s plenty of time for swimming, relaxing and soaking up the beauty of this unique place while you enjoy morning tea prepared by your leader. After lunch back at camp, the afternoon is yours to enjoy your way. Read a book under a boab tree, go for another swim in a nearby creek or jump on the bus and check out some of the other nearby gorges with your leader. (B/L/D)
Today is a driving day, so enjoy the Kimberley scenery and the famous ‘Gibb River Road massage’ provided by the rugged 600 km dirt track travelling through the centre of the Kimberley. There’s a fair bit of ground to cover today, but you’ll break up the journey with lunch and a few stops along the way, like the Pentecost River Lookout that takes in the river floodplain and the tabletop Cockburn Ranges. River crossings and great scenery will help the kilometres fly by until you reach El Questro. Tonight you have the option to have dinner at the El Questro restaurant and a drink at the Swinging Arm Bar. (B/L)
For the next 48 hours, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to make the most of the walking and swimming options at El Questro. Enjoy a dip at Zebedee Springs’ natural oasis before hiking to the Cockburn Ranges for a refreshing swim under the waterfall at Emma Gorge or El Questro Gorge. If you would prefer to rest your legs today, an optional cruise along Chamberlain Gorge is a great option. (B/L/D)
Today is another free day to soak up the beauty of El Questro. Go on another scenic walk or perhaps chill out beside a waterhole with a good book. If you need recommendations for the best things to see and do, your expert leader will be happy to help. (B/L/D)
It’s time to pack up and head to Kununurra, with a stop at the Parry Lagoons Nature Reserve to see hundreds of waterbirds. This afternoon you’ll have time to get some washing done or relax with a book while your crew buy plenty of fresh food for the next section of the trip. Tonight, you’re free to enjoy a drink at the pub or drop into a local restaurant for dinner. (B/L)
Known as the ‘Mini Bungles’, Mirima National Park is your first stop today with plenty of time to stop and appreciate the colourful layered rock formations created more than 300 million years ago. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see them glowing in the changing light. After a stop in town to buy some (optional) lunch, head to Lake Argyle and perhaps go on a cruise up the Ord River before you return to your accommodation in town. (B)
Hit the road for Purnululu National Park – one of three natural UNESCO World Heritage sites in Western Australia – and get set for a drive along outback tracks with creek crossings, wash aways and rough, slow sections. After setting up camp, there’s time for a stroll and before your leader takes you to the perfect spot to watch the sunset against the red rocks of the Bungle Bungle Range. Grab a drink and enjoy one of the state’s most famous sights as the rocks change colour. (B/L/D)
The next two days are yours to explore the natural wonders of Purnululu National Park. Highlights include Echidna Chasm, Mini Palms Gorge, the spectacular orange and black ‘beehive’ domes, Piccanniny Creek and Cathedral Gorge. You’ll also have time for an optional helicopter flight over the Bungle Bungle Range – a fantastic way to see and appreciate this completely unique and beautiful landscape – if you would prefer to see this natural wonder from the sky. (B/L/D)
This morning, you'll be welcomed to Country by a local Aboriginal guide. Then, head off on a walk through the Domes as you learn about bush tucker and bush medicine. Continuing into Cathedral Gorge, your guide will tell tales of how Countrymen would walk the country you’re walking. As you enter the gorge, your guide will share the space with you in their cultural way, whether that be through drawing, singing or storytelling. Then, it’s time to pack up and drive to Larrawa Station for the final night of the adventure. Tonight, join your group and celebrate the final night of the trip with a drink and dinner whipped up by your leader at Larrawa Station campground. (B/L/D)
Break camp after breakfast and then head to the newly reopened Geikie Gorge for morning tea. Walk the Larrgari Trail through savannah woodland to the Fitzroy River. After a brief stop at Fitzroy Crossing for lunch, it’s back to Broome where your trip will come to an end at approximately 5.30 pm. If you’d like to extend your stay, just get in touch with your booking agent. (B/L)
