9 Day 4WD Broome to Darwin
Western Australia
Day 1 - Broome to Windjana Gorge
Out of Broome we stop briefly at Willare Bridge, where a rushing torrent of water flows in the mighty Fitzroy River during the wet season. From here we leave the bitumen behind as we head for the Oscar Range and on to Tunnel Creek, where a 750 metre tunnel passes under the Napier Range. The area has a rich bushranger history - ask your guide for the true story! (LD).
Day 2 - Windjana Gorge to Mt Barnett
Windjana Gorge is worth exploring (there’s loads of freshwater crocodiles here!) before we hit the track again to travel along the famous Gibb River road to Manning Gorge and to watch the sunset over the Barnett Range. (BLD).
Day 3 - Gibb River Road and Gorges
A great day of swimming and hiking! Explore some the Kimberley’s striking gorges, including Barnett, Manning, Adcock or Galvans depending on the time of year. We’re in for another night at our bush camp. (BLD).
Day 4 - Gibb River Road to El Questro Station
We pass through some ancient and spectacular country as we travel long the Gibb River Road. Crossing the Pentecost River, we reach the famous El Questro Station. We walk into the beautiful Cockburn Ranges for a swim under the waterfall at Emma Gorge before retiring for the night. (BLD).
Day 5 - El Questro to Bungle Bungles
Today sit back and admire the awesome scenery of the Carr Boyd and Durack Ranges as we head to Turkey Creek. We take a challenging 4WD trip into the Bungle Bungle (Purnululu) National Park for sunset over the Osmond Ranges and our overnight camp. (BLD).
Day 6 - Bungle Bungles NP
It’s a full day of exploration today. The rock formations of the Bungle Bungles massif are remarkable and we visit the permanent waterhole of Frog Hole, breathtaking Echidna Chasm and overwhelming and magnificent Cathedral Gorge. There’s time to get another perspective of the Bungles by helicopter if you choose (at own expense) before we head back to our overnight bush camp. (BLD).
Day 7 - Bungle-Bungles to Kununurra
It’s time for some 4WD action as we wind our way out of the Bungle Bungles on our way to Kununurra, the capital of the north. This afternoon we spend time exploring Hidden Valley, just a stones throw from Kununurra township. (BLD).
Day 8 - Kununurra to Victoria River
Lake Argyle, created by the Ord River Dam, is the biggest man-made lake in Australia and a couple of times bigger than Sydney Harbour! We spend some time here this morning before crossing the state border into the Northern Territory. If we’ve got time, we’ll check out the Keep River National Park before reaching camp on the Victoria River. (BLD).
Day 9 - Victoria River to Darwin
We’re on the home run now! It’s a short hop across to Katherine where we stop briefly at Katherine (Nitmiluk) Gorge. There’s time for one last refreshing swim at Edith Falls before we arrive in Darwin, the last stop for the journey. (BL).
