Today you will be greeted by our friendly and professional Tour Directors.
After some free time this afternoon you will meet your fellow adventurers at Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa for a briefing over dinner about the journey ahead. Stay: Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa, Broome (D)
After breakfast this morning we depart Broome along the Northern Highway to Fitzroy Crossing, where we'll stop for lunch.
This afternoon we continue east to our first campsite near Halls Creek. Your crew will help you get familiarised with all the camping equipment and prepare a sumptuous dinner under the stars. Stay: Lamboo (B/L/D)
Today we turn off down the Tanami Road before reaching the official start of the Canning Stock Route at Billiluna. From here we pass Bloodwood Bore, Well 51 and Well 49 - known as the 'Crystal Well" because of its reliable drinking water. Our first night on the stock route will be nearby at Canning's 303 Marker. Stay: Canning's 303 Marker (B/L/D)
Today we tackle the Great Sandy Desert heading to an area known as Gravity Lakes. We briefly stop off at Well 44 before arriving at Well 43 - traditionally known as Billowaggi. A drive over the Guli Lake System will get us to our camping spot just north of the Helena Springs track. Set up camp amongst the gum trees and enjoy another magnificent evening under the desert stars. Stay: Well 42 (B/L/D)
Durba Springs was always a popular spot for drovers to rest up for a few days while driving cattle down from the east Kimberley. The area, traditionally called 'Jilikuru' by the Martu people, is also home to a number of distinctive Western Desert Aboriginal rock art sites. This morning we enjoy a series of walks around the Durba Hills, taking in some of these art sites. The afternoon can be spent at your leisure. Stay: Durba Springs (B/L/D)
Today we get an early start and continue south down to Well 16. Here you'll learn of the area's torturous history before moving on to Well 15 and a lookout where we stop for morning tea. Next it's on to Wells 14 and 13 before reaching Well 12 which, in recent years, has been fully restored and offers excellent drinking water. After replenishing our water supplies we continue on to McConkey Hill near Well 10 where we camp for the night. Stay: McConkey Hill (B/L/D)
This morning we depart our camp spot and trek south to Well 9, also known as Weld Springs. This is where Glen-Ayle Station begins, evident by the cattle yards and infrastructure. It's also where John Forrest, the first premier of Western Australia, was forced to build a small fort in 1874. It's here that we deviate from the official Canning Stock Route and travel through Glen-Ayle Station and south to Wiluna. We arrive in Wiluna mid-afternoon to refuel before continuing back to the stock route and setting up camp at Well 1. Stay: Well 1 (B/L/D)
After packing up camp for the last time we travel northwards to meet up with the Great Northern Highway and arrive into Newman early this afternoon. We check in to the Seasons Hotel for the final night of our expedition. The remainder of the afternoon can be spent at your leisure before re-grouping for a final celebratory dinner in the hotel restaurant. Stay: Newman (B/L/D)
After our final breakfast together you'll be transferred to the Newman Airport for your included QANTAS flight down to Perth. (B)
