Day 1- Departure Day (Free, No Charge) – Derby, Prison Tree, Windjana Gorge

Your Kimberley Experience begins this morning as we collect you from your
accommodation at the relaxed hour of 10am! Our immediate destination is the heart of The
Kimberley as we head towards the Kimberley Devonian Reef. Along the way we stop for
lunch as we prepare the first of many gourmet meals for you. Soon afterwards we visit the
remote town of Derby (home to some of the largest tides in the World) and after a tour of
Derby we visit the famous Boab Prison Tree. We then hit the Gibb River Road and head for
Windjana Gorge arriving in time for sunset. Tonight’s camp will be the first of many under
the Kimberley sky so, sit back and enjoy the camp fire while we cook up a feast

Camp Lunch, Dinner

Day 2 – Windjana Gorge, Tunnel Creek, King Leopold Ranges

Our Kimberley experience continues this morning as we explore Tunnel Creek
and Windjana Gorge at a leisurely pace, thanks to yesterday’s start. We travel a short
distance from Windjana Gorge as we follow the Devonian Reef system to Tunnel Creek. We
arrive at Tunnel Creek nice and early to beat the procession of Day tours leaving Broome this
morning and as a reward we experience this unique formation and micro habitat in its
true tranquillity. There is often an abundance of early morning wildlife here as we trek
through the main tunnel and explore some of the secondary caverns of this amazing protected
environment. While at Tunnel Creek we reveal some of the local Bunuba Indigenous
heritage, important cultural stories and historic events. After our early morning exploration of
Tunnel Creek, we return to Windjana Gorge for a mid-morning snack and pack up camp
before heading into the Gorge for a short hike along the Leonard River. Windjana Gorge is
home to one of the highest populations of fresh water crocodiles in the World, so no
swimming here unfortunately. We will however have time to search for some fossils in the
walls of this Gorge that was once totally submerged beneath the Timor Sea. After a picnic
lunch in the Gorge we then make our way back to the Gibb River Road and travel deeper into
the Kimberley towards the King Leopold Ranges and our camp in Bell Gorge.

Day 3 –Bell Gorge, Galvin’s Gorge, Manning Gorge

This morning after breakfast we head directly into Bell Gorge. Nestled in the rugged
sandstone of the King Leopold Conservation Zone, our Bell Gorge expedition requires a hike
into the gorge proper to reveal one of the most popular Kimberley waterfalls along the Gibb
River Road. After a refreshing swim and snorkel, further exploration of the Gorge and
some relaxation time, we return to the Gibb and head further east for Galvin’s and Manning
Gorges. Both of these Gorges are uniquely different to each other, Galvin’s is a soft featured
tropical oasis only a short walk from the road and perfect for a short swim and snorkel after
the mornings drive. From Galvin’s it’s only a short drive to the much welcomed Mt Barnett
Roadhouse for treats, before taking the 4WD track into Manning Gorge for a sunset swim and
camp.

Day 4 – Manning Gorge to Gibb River

After an easy relaxing breakfast we prepare to negotiate Manning River as we begin our hike
into Manning Falls. We spend the rest of the morning exploring this rugged remote Gorge
while swimming and snorkelling at secluded beaches, and viewing obscure Rock Art
(Bradshaws). We also make time to visit the falls and have another swim and picnic lunch,
before hiking back to our camp. This afternoon we continue further east along the Gibb River
road to our next camp on the banks of the Gibb River itself. Upon arrival after setting camp
we have some time to explore the local environment, some more but very different ancient
rock art and another sunset swim to end the day.

Day 5 – Gibb River to Elquestro

This morning after breakfast we break camp and continue eastward on route to Elquestro
Station. Today’s journey along the Gibb takes us through Ellenbrae and Home Valley
Stations and onto the imposing Durack Ranges, signalling our arrival to the East Kimberley
and Elquestro. After stopping on the crest of the Pentecost range to admire the
Dominant Cockburn Range, Pentecost River and Wyndham to the north, we descend the
Range and cross the tidal section of the mighty Pentecost River. Upon arrival at Elquestro we
begin our exploration of this amazing property with a hike into Emma Gorge. The Emma
Gorge hike leads us through towering sandstone escarpments to eventually arrive at a tall
waterfall in a lush tropical paradise After a swim and relaxing time at Emma Falls, we make
our way to the ‘Elquestro Township’ to meet the folks and check into our private camp for
the night. Our private Elquestro camp is situated right on the upper freshwater reaches of
the Pentecost River.

Day 6 – Full day exploring Elquestro

Today is spent exploring this notoriously stunning property. With features such as Elquestro
Gorge, Zebedee Springs, Amalia and Moonshine Gorges, our day is full of hiking,
scrambling, and swimming. After an active day we return to our private camp, before
embarking on 4WD sunset safari to witness another stunning Kimberley sunset from our
Elquestro high elevation vantage point. While enjoying the sunset with pre dinner snacks we
are presented with a panoramic perspective on the surrounding Durack Ranges.

Day 7 – Elquestro to Purnululu (Bungle Bungles)

After breakfast we break camp and depart Elquestro for Purnululu (The Bungles). We travel
the remainder of the Gibb River Road before turning south onto the Great Northern
Highway. This morning’s drive along the Great Northern Highway is through a narrow
corridor between the Carboyd Range on the Eastern side, and the Saw Ranges on the West.
This is classic Durack Country and one of the most picturesque routes in the Kimberley.
After our easy early morning drive along the Highway, we turn onto the Mabel Downs
Station track to tackle the raw rugged terrain of the Osmond Range and surrounding Bungle
Bungle landscape. As we continue through Mabel Downs Cattle Station towards Purnululu
National Park, crossing several creeks and rivers, we stop at some lookout points to admire
this uniquely striking landscape while giving you time to capture it all through the lens. We
end today at one of the Parks great vantage points to view the Bungle Bungle Range as the
sun sets behind us.

Day 8 – Purnululu (Veiw Bungle Bungle Range at sunrise with Breakfast)
After our onsite sunrise breakfast we spend the whole morning hiking around and through the
famous World Heritage acclaimed beehive formations of the Bungle Bungle Range. We
also Trek Piccinnini Creek, the main drainage channel of the park, and admire Cathedral
Gorge and other outstanding features of this unique semi-arid Kimberley zone. After our
morning hiking expedition we return to our camp for some lunch, before heading to the
northern section of the Bungle Bungle Range for more hiking. The drive to the North of the
park is approx. 45min and skirts the Bungles the whole distance, providing more
opportunities to admire the changing aspects of this natural masterpiece. The experience in
the parks north is very different to this morning; therefore we take the time and the remainder
of the day to explore the changing habitats in and around Echidna Chasm and Mini Palms
Gorge. After an active day of exploration we take a short climb to the best vantage point in
the park and enjoy the spectacle of the Bungle Bungle colours as the sunsets behind us.

Day 9 – Purnululu to Kununurra

After breakfast we have an opportunity for a helicopter flight to view the surrounding
Bungle Bungle landscape and get a true perspective of its Grandeur and magnitude. An 18-
30min flight over the Bungle Bungle Range in an open door chopper is an
exhilarating experience and definitely to best way to view this incredible landform.
Particularly after exploring and hiking the area previously. Around mid- morning we leave
Purnululu and the Bungles behind us as we again negotiate the rugged Mable Downs Station
track through the Osmond Range and back out to the Great Northern Highway. Once back
on the Highway we head for our camp near Kununurra.

Day 10 – East Kimberley to the Northern Territory

After Breakfast we break camp and head for the Northern Territory. Before crossing the
NT/WA border we stop in Kununurra for a tour of this fascinating East Kimberley Hub.
Kununurra was originally constructed as a support base for the Ord River Irrigation Scheme,
but today is a thriving East Kimberley Community filling a vital role in supporting the
surrounding local economy. From Kununurra we continue east along the Victoria River
Highway, deep into the Northern Territory to our Camp in Judbarra (Gregory National
Park) in the Victoria River District (VRD). This region of the Northern Territory displays
some of the most dramatic sandstone escarpment country in Australia, and is one of
Australia’s best kept secrets. We arrive at camp in time to enjoy our first NT sunset.

Day 11 – Victoria River to Darwin via Katherine and Edith Falls

After waking to our first sunrise in the Northern Territory and having a good breakfast with
more freshly brewed coffee, we hit the road again and head for Darwin. Our early morning
departure rewards us with stunning views of the Vic River Escarpments while the sun reveals
their rich red ochre colours as we travel eastward through Judbarra towards Upon arrival in
Katherine we have time for a comfort stop before turning left onto the Stuart Highway and
heading north for Darwin. On route to Darwin we visit the gorgeous Edith Falls
(Leliyn), part of Katherine Gorge (Nitmiluk) National Park. While at Edith Falls we have
time for a swim, some snorkelling, and a picnic lunch before departing and traveling further
