Itinerary
Welcome to Broome! After meeting your leader and fellow families at a central location in town this morning, Departing Broome, we journey to the renowned ‘Boab Prison Tree’ and the start of the iconic Gibb River Road. Set up camp in Windjana Gorge National Park and enjoy lunch before we head for the adventure of Dimalurru (Tunnel Creek), a cave system carved through the Napier Range, discover stalactites and a large variety of wildlife.
Also learn the legend of Jandamarra, an Aboriginal freedom fighter who used the tunnel as a hideout in the late 1800s. Towards sunset, we arrive at our campsite for a delicious campfire dinner under the famous Kimberley night sky. (LD) (L/D)
Spend the morning exploring the famous Windjana Gorge, a majestic oasis in the outback where we search for freshwater crocodiles, bird life and bushtucker. An afternoon swim at Galvans Gorge, amongst water lilies and boab trees, offers the chance to freshen up. That night, we camp on Mt Barnett Cattle Station at a billabong oasis in the heart of Gorge country. (BLD) (B/L/D)
Today we explore the remote and spectacular Manning Gorge surrounded by high cliff. Cross the meandering Manning River - either swimming or by pulley boat! - and take on a bushwalk to the impressive Manning Falls. The kids will love swimming in deep clear pools surrounded by a rugged natural landscape.
In the afternoon, relax, swim and play games by the Manning River before we get the camp fire going for dinner and marshmallow toasting! (BLD) (B/L/D)
