Weave through the boulders and chasms of the Bungle Bungles, encounter Dreaming stories in the Mimbi Caves and learn the legend of Jandamarra on a tour of Tunnel Creek.

Itinerary

ITINERARY CHANGES Our itineraries are updated regularly throughout the year based on customer feedback and to reflect the current situation in each destination. The information included in this Essential Trip Information may therefore differ from when you first booked your trip. It's important that you review this information prior to travel so that you have the latest updates. Due to weather, local conditions, transport schedules, public holidays, political unrest or other factors, further changes may be necessary to your itinerary once in-country. Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway. GIBB RIVER ROAD During ‘the Wet’ most 4WD roads and National Parks in the Kimberley are closed, including the Gibb River Road which in the wet season turns into a fully flowing river. Due to the region being mostly inaccessible, we only operate these trips through the dry months, usually April until October. Departures during the shoulder season (usually April/early May and October) are at some risk of road and National Park closures. In most cases we will try and operate an amended itinerary, depending on the extent of the closures. We reserve the right to amend itineraries at short notice, during any time of the year. ABORIGINAL & TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER CULTURAL EXPERIENCES & COMMUNITIES First Nations people have complex community obligations, and at times activities or experiences may be cancelled at late notice due to cultural commitments. In the case that we are unable to include planned activities with First Nations communities, we will endeavour to find a suitable alternative in the same or another destination on your trip.

Day 1 - Broome / Geikie Gorge / Fitzroy Crossing
Welcome to Broome! Or Rubibi, in the language of the Yawuru people, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which Broome is now located. Start your adventure straight away, setting off early this morning as you travel east towards Fitzroy Crossing. This morning your local leader will pick you up from your hotel at about 8 am. You’ll start your adventure right away and join the Darlgunya Cultural Walk, where your local Indigenous guide greets you with a Smoking Ceremony and some billy tea. Then, stroll through the remnants of the old postal settlement. Learn about the wild Fitzroy River from your guide – its plants, wildlife and the significance to local culture. Tonight, watch the sunset and the stars as they come alive, away from the city lights.
Day 2 - China Wall / Purnululu National Park (Bungle Bungles)
Today, you’ll visit the gold rush town of Halls Creek to see the remarkable China Wall on the way to Purnululu National Park – home of the magnificent Bungle Bungles. When you arrive in Purnululu, take some time to settle into your safari camp, then sit back, relax and enjoy the bush sunset. Relax with a delicious meal and an evening under the stars.
Day 3 - Purnululu National Park (Bungle Bungles)
Spend the next day exploring the highlights of 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 1980s. To protect its unique landscape, the area was made a national park in 1987 and now boasts UNESCO World Heritage status. You’ll explore the Echidna Chasm today, known for its towering Livistonia Palm trees. Take the short walk into the gorgeous Cathedral Gorge, where towering rocks create a natural amphitheatre.
Day 4 - Mimbi Caves / Fitzroy Crossing
Say goodbye to Purnululu and travel to the ancient realm of Mimbi Caves – one of Western Australia's largest cave systems, in the heart of Gooniyandi Country. Spiritually significant, these limestone caves are one of the oldest identified sites of human occupation in Australia. Delve into Dreamtime with a local Gooniyandi guide who will share traditional stories and reveal the secrets of Mimbi Caves – a sanctuary of crystal-clear pools, rare fossils and ancient rock art. Share fresh damper and billy tea with the Gooniyandi traditional owners before you head back to Fitzroy Crossing.
Day 5 - Dimalurru (Tunnel Creek) / Windjana Gorge / Derby / Broome
Following another night by the Fitzroy River, you’ll head for Bunuba country – once a Devonian reef, this terrain is over 350 million years old and home to a diverse array of animals and plants. Stop at Tunnel Creek – a 750-m cave system where you can explore secret caves and a large variety of wildlife. Here, you’ll also learn the legend of Jandamarra – an Aboriginal freedom fighter who used the tunnel as a hide-out in the late 1800s. Travel to the geological wonder of Windjana Gorge – a delightful oasis in the outback. Beneath gorge walls rising 90 m, enjoy a picnic lunch as you search for freshwater crocodiles, local birdlife and Indigenous bushtucker. The Gibb River Road then leads you from the Napier Ranges to Broome via the Derby ‘Boab Prison Tree’. When you arrive, your trip will come to an end. If you’d like to extend your stay, just reach out to your booking agent.
