The day begins with a visit to Tom Price for a guided mine tour, gaining insight into the region's rich mining history. Continuing our journey, we travel to Karratha, a town established in 1968 to support the iron ore industry in the Hamersley Ranges.

Along the way, we stop at the magnificent Millstream-Chichester National Park, known for its rugged escarpments, tree-lined rivers, and pristine water pools. In the afternoon, we explore the historic Millstream Homestead, a former pastoral station that now serves as a visitor centre. Later, we arrive in Karratha in the late afternoon.

This afternoon, we head south towards to one of the most pristine natural wonders in Australia: Ningaloo Reef. We arrive in Exmouth late afternoon. Stay: Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort (B/L/D)

Cruise Ningaloo is an untouched, 300km-long fringing barrier reef that protects a shallow, brilliant white-sand-fringed lagoon. It is one of only a few places on Earth where you are able to access the coral reef from the beach. This morning, we enjoy a half-day discovery cruise on Ningaloo Reef.

Admire the striking contrast between the turquoise waters and red ochre landscapes as the sun rises over the gorge. Keep an eye out for an array of birdlife and the rare black-footed rock wallabies hopping along the cliff edge.

It is one of only a handful of places on the list that satisfied all four natural criteria concerning natural beauty, biological diversity, ecological processes and Earth's history. Its seagrass meadows are the largest in the world and support a significant population of dugong, along with a variety of other marine life. This morning, we head to the beach to meet the famous locals – a pod of wild dolphins that come into the shallows and interact with people. (As the dolphins are wild, their appearance cannot be guaranteed). We then enjoy a catamaran sailing adventure in Shark Bay Marine Park, keeping an eye out for marine life, including dugongs, dolphins, sharks, huge sea turtles and more.

Nearby, we explore the Old Hamelin Pool Telegraph Station, built in 1884 as part of the vital communication line between Perth and Roebourne. The original building now serves as a museum, showcasing fascinating historical artifacts. After our visit, we continue south, arriving in Geraldton late in the afternoon.
