ITINERARY
Day 1 Tunnel Creek
Our experience in the Kimberley Gorges begins with
a visit to the renowned 'Boab Prison Tree' in Derby, before travelling
along the famous Gibb River Road to the ancient Napier Ranges. Tunnel
Creek is a dramatic cave system carved through a 350 million year old
Devonian reef system. Here, we discover stalactites, secret caves and a
large variety of wildlife before enjoying a swim in an idyllic
waterhole. We also hear of the legend of Jandamarra, an Aboriginal
freedom fighter who used the Tunnel as a hideout in the late 1800's.
Towards sunset, we head to our Windjana camp as the guide prepares a
delicious BBQ dinner under the sparkling Kimberley night sky.
Day 2 Windjana Gorge & Cattle Station
After breakfast we walk deep into the heart of
majestic Windjana Gorge. In this oasis of the outback we search for
freshwater crocodiles, bird life and Indigenous bush tucker and hear the
dreamtime stories of the area. Travelling further up the Gibb River
Road, we pause at Imintji Aboriginal Community for lunch. Freshen up
with an afternoon swim amongst the water lilies at Galvins Gorge, a
large pool surrounded by lush remnant rainforest. Tonight we camp and
enjoy another great meal and perhaps a glass of wine on Mount Barnett
Cattle Station, by a shady Kimberley billabong.
Day 3 Manning Falls & Silent Grove
A morning trek into Manning Falls offers the chance
to swim in deep clear pools amid a stunning natural landscape. Relax,
explore wandering streams, uncover local wildlife and take a dip in the
waterfall pools. In the afternoon, we travel west to the tranquil
waterhole of Adcock Gorge before a night spent in the shadows of the
King Leopold Ranges, at the peaceful Silent Grove camp.
Day 4 Bell Gorge & Broome
Our last morning is devoted to exploring Bell
Gorge, a hidden highlight of the West Kimberleys. This idyllic retreat,
considered amongst the most beautiful in the area, boasts cascading
waterfalls and crystal clear pools formed over millions of years - an
easy place to while away a few hours! Returning through Kimberley cattle
country, we arrive back in Broome at approximately 6:45pm.
