Scroll down for an outline summary of the Broome to Darwin Itinerary
8 night/9 days Day 1: Broome to Windjana Gorge After leaving Broome stop briefly at Willare Bridge to gaze in awe at the size of the Fitzroy River and the amount of water that flows in it during the wet season. Continuing on, leave the bitumen behind as you head for the Oscar Range and on to Tunnel Creek, a 750 metre tunnel that passes under the Napier range, rich in bushranger history - just ask your guide for the true story. (LD) Day 2: Windjana Gorge to Mt Barnett After spending a few pleasant hours exploring Windjana Gorge with its abundance of freshwater crocodiles it’s time to hit the track again and travel along the famous Gibb River road to Manning Gorge to watch the sunset over the Barnett Range (BLD) Day 3: Gibb River Road and Gorges A great day of swimming and hiking as you explore some of the Kimberley's striking gorges. You might go to Barnett, Manning, Adcock or Galvans depending upon the time of year. Tonight is another night at your bush camp.. (BLD) Day 4: Gibb River Road to El Questro Station Continue along the rugged Gibb River Road, travelling through some ancient and spectacular country before crossing the Pentecost River and heading to the famous El Questro Station. You'll walk into the beautiful Cockburn Ranges and go for a swim under the waterfall at Emma Gorge before retiring for the night.. (BLD) Day 5: El Questro to Bungle Bungles Today sit back and admire the awesome scenery of the Carr Boyd and Durack Ranges as you head to Turkey Creek. Experience a challenging 4WD trip into the Bungle Bungle (Purnululu) National Park for sunset over the Osmond Ranges and your overnight camp. (BLD) Day 6: Purnululu (Bungle Bungle) National Park A full day of exploration today. The rock formations of the Bungle Bungles massif are remarkable and you visit the permanent waterhole of Frog Hole, breathtaking Echidna Chasm and overwhelming and magnificent Cathedral Gorge. There is time to get another perspective of the Bungles by helicopter if you choose (at own expense) before you head back to your overnight bush camp.. (BLD) Day 7: Bungle Bungles to Kununurra Time for some 4WD action as you wind our way out of the Bungle Bungles on our way to Kununurra, the capital of the north. This afternoon spend time exploring Hidden Valley, just a stones throw from Kununurra township. (BLD) Day 8: Kununurra to Victoria River This morning drive out to Lake Argyle and the Ord River Dam where there is time to take in the magnificent expanse of the largest man made lake in Australia. This afternoon cross the border into the Northern Territory. Time permitting you may have a look in at the Keep River National Park before heading to tonight's camp on the Victoria River. (BLD) Day 9: Victoria River to Darwin Begin the final stage of your adventure this morning with the short leg to Katherine where there will be a brief visit to Katherine (Nitmiluk) Gorge. Heading north now, stop at Edith Falls for a final refreshing and relaxing swim before heading into Darwin where sadly it is time to farewell your new found friends. (BL) Truly Ref 498 |
