T complete trip through Kimberley he taking in all the sights of Western Australia's far north.
After leaving Broome we stop briefly at Willare Bridge to gaze in awe at the size of this river and the amount of water that flows in the mighty Fitzroy River during the wet season. Continuing on we leave the bitumen behind as we head for the Oscar Range and on to Tunnel Creek, a 750 metre tunnel that passes under the Napier range rich in bush-ranger history. After spending a few pleasant hours exploring Windjana Gorge with its abundance of freshwater crocodiles it's time to hit the track again as we travel along the famous Gibb River road to Manning Gorge and watch the sunset over the Barnett Range. A great day of swimming and hiking as we explore some of the Kimberley's striking gorges maybe Barnett, Manning, Adcock or Galvans depending on the time of year. We 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. Take a challenging 4WD trip into the Bungle Bungle (Purnululu) National Park for sunset over the Osmond Ranges and spend a full day exploring the unusual rock formations of the Bungle Bungles mastiff, visiting the unique Frog Hole, the breathtaking Echidna Chasm and the magnificent Cathedral Gorge. This morning we engage 4WD to wind our way out of the Bungle Bungles before heading to the capital of the North - Kununurra., exploring Hidden Valley just a stones throw from Kununurra township. This morning we drive out to Lake Argyle and the Ord River Dam before crossing the border into the Northern Territory. Time permitting we may have a look at the Keep River National Park before heading to our camp on the Victoria River. We begin our final leg this morning with the short drive to Katherine where we have a brief visit to Katherine (Nitmiluk) Gorge. Heading north now we stop at Edith Falls for a final refreshing and relaxing swim before heading into Darwin where sadly we have to say farewell to our new found friends.
