Day 1                                          Derby, Windjana Gorge, Tunnel Creek                                                 

Fitzroy River Lodge  (L)

This morning we’ll travel through the remote and beautiful landscape of the Western Kimberley, learning of local history, people and the environment crossing the Fitzroy River and visiting the famous Prison Boab Tree. We arrive in the township of Derby located on the tidal mud flats on the edge of the King Sound known for having the highest tidal range of any port in
Australia prior to beginning our journey on the remote cattle track, the Gibb River Road. A short stop at the wonderful Mowanjum Aboriginal Art & Cultural Centre introduces us to the Wandjina & Gwion Gwion spirits, so important in this region. We continue our travels towards the Napier Range, once a Devonian reef these escarpments are over 350 million years old and home to a diverse array of animals and plants. The perfect place to experience the stunning natural beauty of an outback oasis is the 3.5km geological wonder of Windjana Gorge and then exploring Tunnel Creek, a 750-metre cave system carved through the Range, in which we discover stalactites, secret caves and a variety of wildlife. It is here we also learn the legend of Jandamarra, an Aboriginal freedom fighter who used the tunnel as a hide out in the late 1800's. As the sun sets we journey through the Oscar Ranges and groves of majestic Boab trees before
arriving at our comfortable accommodation on the banks of the Fitzroy River.

Day 2                                          Halls Creek, Spring Creek 4WD Track                              

Bungle Bungle Wilderness Lodge (D)

This morning we depart Fitzroy Crossing, breaking the journey to the Bungle Bungles with a visit to the gold rush town of Halls Creek. We then depart the main highway to venture into
Purnululu National Park by way of the 4WD Spring Creek Track where lateafternoon we arrive at the award winning private Bungle Bungles Wilderness Lodge, our home for the next 2 nights.

Day 3                                          Bungle  Bungles Touring                                        

Bungle Bungle Wilderness Lodge (B,L,D)

We have a full day to explore the highlights of this extraordinary World Heritage protected Purnululu National Park, the most famous of which, are the Bungle Bungle domes. Rivers created this landscape of unique orange and black striped 'beehive' geological formations over a period of 20 million years. Unbelievably, only the locals knew it existed until the early 1980's; once discovered by others, the area was made a national park in 1987. We explore Echidna Chasm (2km), known  or its towering Livistonia Palm trees, and take a short walk (2-3km) into
stunning Cathedral Gorge, where towering rocks create a natural amphitheatre. This evening view a sensational sunset enjoying drinks & nibbles.

Day 4                                          Bungles Helicopter Flight, China Wall                                                 

Fitzroy River Lodge (B)

This morning we have the option of an inspiring helicopter scenic flight over the Bungle Bungles (from $255.00 per person own expense) that will surely be a highlight of your trip. Heading back out by way of the Spring Creek Track we visit the interesting natural feature of China Wall. A natural quartz formation that runs six kilometres along the landscape, the wall is an echo of that for which it was named - the Great Wall of China. Continuing towards Fitzroy Crossing we call into the remote Yiyili Aboriginal Community, known for it’s outstanding art and progressive school (note: visits can-not always be guaranteed).

Day 5                                          Geike Gorge Cruise                                                                                   

 Concludes Broome

An early departure takes us via Geikie Gorge National Park where we explore the magnificent Darngku by boat. Nature carved this spectacular 30m deep gorge between the Geikie and Oscar Ranges during the Devonian geological period. The best way to experience the scenery and abundant wildlife of this natural wonder is to join the Geikie Gorge Ranger-guided Cruise (included). Geikie Gorge floods during the wet season, with the swirling water leaving its bleached mark on the colourful gorge walls. Though the water retreats during the dry season,
permanent water remains to sustain the wide variety of Kimberley wildlife. Departing Fitzroy Crossing we traverse the West Kimberley, crossing the Fitzroy River once again prior to
arriving in Broome in the late afternoon where our tour concludes.
