Broome to Windjana Gorge
Windjana Gorge - Departing Broome, we head to Derby to visit the Norval Art Gallery, where you can admire exquisite artworks and learn about the area’s traditional art history. Our next stop is Tunnel Creek, which flows through a tunnel beneath the limestone of the Napier Range. Tunnel Creek is part of the 350-375 million-year-old Devonian Reef, formed when the Kimberley was covered by the sea and gradually exposed as sea levels fell. We then proceed to Windjana Gorge, a stunning gorge carved through the Napier Range, holding special significance to the local Aboriginal people. The gorge, formed by the Lennard River, is 3.5 km long. We will walk up the gorge before setting up camp for the night.
Windjana Gorge to Silent Grove (Bell Gorge)
Bell Gorge - After rejoining the Gibb River Road, we head north to begin our hike of Bell Gorge, one of the most impressive gorges in the Kimberley, eroded into the King Leopold Range. Bell Creek cascades through a series of falls and pools, offering plenty of time for a refreshing swim before we return to Silent Grove for the night.
Silent Grove to Mt Barnett (Manning Gorge)
Manning Gorge
Manning Gorge - A relaxing day with a hike to Manning Falls for a swim, returning around lunchtime. The afternoon is spent leisurely along the banks of the Barnett River and camp, soaking in the atmosphere before relaxing around the campfire.
Mt Barnett to Munurru (King Edward River)
Mitchell Plateau
Mitchell Falls - Today, we drive slowly and steadily along the Port Warrender Road to the Mitchell Plateau, showcasing 4WD terrain. Departing the camp, we arrive at the Mertens carpark mid-morning for a short scenic helicopter flight over the Mitchell Plateau and the incredible Mitchell Falls. The remarkable scenery offers a great perspective before exploring it on foot. After enjoying a swim at the top of the falls, we hike 3.5 km back to the carpark, stopping to view some Aboriginal Rock Art along the way. We return to camp in the late afternoon.
Munurru to El Questro
El Questro Wilderness Park - Today is one of our longest drive days due to limited overnight options. We rejoin the Gibb River Road, stopping at Ellenbrae Station to meet the hosts and enjoy afternoon tea. Along the way, we are treated to fabulous views of the Kimberley and Cockburn Range. We continue along the Gibb River Road to our evening destination, El Questro Wilderness Park.

El Questro
El Questro Wilderness Park - After a leisurely start, we hike into El Questro Gorge to the halfway pool. There is also an option to relax at camp. After lunch, the afternoon is free to relax, join an optional Chamberlain Gorge cruise (must be booked in advance), and catch up on washing.

Ord River, Lake Argyle, Kununurra
Ord River - After breakfast, we walk through town to visit art galleries and check out the Argyle diamonds before joining a ¾ day boat cruise of the Ord River. The cruise covers 55 km of river between Kununurra and Lake Argyle, showcasing an ecological system developed from the damming of the Ord River. The tour concludes with a scenic coach tour through ‘Durack Country’ to Lake Argyle before returning to Kununurra.
Kununurra to Purnululu National Park
Purnululu National Park - Today, we drive into the magnificent World Heritage Listed Purnululu National Park (Bungle Bungles), renowned for its striking orange and grey horizontal banded domes. These distinctive beehive-shaped landforms have been formed by uplift and erosion over the last 20 million years. In the evening, we will watch the sunset behind the Bungle Bungle Ranges while enjoying a glass of Champagne before returning to our campsite.
Purnululu National Park
Purnululu National Park - After breakfast, we spend the day exploring the magnificent beehive formations of this World Heritage Listed region, including hikes into Echidna Chasm, Cathedral Gorge, and Piccaninny Creek Lookout. The area was largely ‘undiscovered’ until 1982, known only to local Aboriginal people and a few stockmen. It became a National Park in 1987. An unforgettable helicopter flight over the Bungles is highly recommended and available at an extra cost (must be booked in advance).
Purnululu National Park to Fitzroy Crossing
Fitzroy Crossing - Leaving Purnululu, we head to Halls Creek for morning tea and refreshments.
