Itinerary

Day 1: Broome – Fitzroy Crossing

Near Derby, we visit its main attraction with a dark past, the Prison Tree. Aboriginal convicts used to be locked up the hollow trunk of the old Boab Tree. Nowadays, the bulbous giant is protected and should no longer be entered out of respect for this place and history. We continue our leisurely journey along the Great Northern Highway towards Fitzroy Crossing, our destination for today.

Accommodation: Fitzroy River Lodge, Fitzroy Crossing

Day 2: Fitzroy Crossing – Kununurra (B)

In the morning, we will visit Geikie Gorge National Park. Our cruise will take us through a 14 km long and up to 30 metres deep canyon, where we will have the possibility to observe freshwater crocodiles and to gaze and wonder at the remaining dry coral reef now present by the coloured limestone walls of the canyon. At lunch time, we will arrive in halls Creek, where in 1885 gold was first found. We take a short detour to the so-called China Wall. The vertical, up to 5 m high wall of bright quartz is the result of erosion and looks like being built by humans. Continuing our drive along the Great Northern Highway, between the Durack Range and the Carr Boyd Range, we head to Kununurra, situated on the Ord River.

Accommodation: Kununurra Country Club Resort, Kununurra

Day 3: Kununurra – El Questro – Wyndham – Kununurra (B)

Early in the morning, we drive to El Questro Wilderness Park, where we will discover one of the numerous gorges during a short hike. Aling the Great Northern Highway, between the Durack Range and the Carr Boyd Range, we continue to Wyndham. Five Rivers Lookout in Wyndham, the northernmost town in Western Australia, offers spectacular views of the Ord, Forrest, King, Durack and Pentecost Rivers, the Gulf of Cambridge and surrounding mangrove swamps and tidal flats. Depending on the season, we visit Marglu Billabong in Parry Lagoons Nature Reserve, a bird sanctuary for over 20,000 birds. The Grotto is the name of an idyllic swiiming pool located at the beginning of a short but pitoresque gorge. The pool, enclosed by steep rock walls, is fed by a 15 meter waterfall during the rainy season. We then drive to Kununurra

Accommodation: Kununurra Country Club Resort, Kununurra

Day 4: Kununurra – Ord River (B)

Today we will be collected from your accommodation just before noon and taken by coach through Durack country to Lake Argyle. We will take a short break at the historic Durack Homestead Museum. This Museum was constructed as a replica of the original family Homestead and used the original Homestead stone. We are viewing the enormous Lake Argyle from a scenic look-out. On our 55km boat ride back to Kununurra, we experience the spectacular landscapes as well as rich flora and fauna. After admiring a colourful sunset at the end of the boat trip, we are brought back to the hotel.

Accommodation: Kununurra Country Club Resort, Kununurra

Day 5: Kununurra – Bungle Bungle – Kununurra (B/L)

Today’s trip into the Bungle Bungle National Park is a highlight at its best. It gives you great opportunity to experience a breathtaking view on unique rock formations from the air and on foot. From a small aeroplane, you enjoy gorgeous bird’s eye views of Lake Argyle, the Carr Boyd Range and enormous cattle farms. While approaching the airstrip amidst the Bungle Bungle National Park the wonder world of these amazing limestone rocks open up. By 4WD and on foot you reach Cathedral Gorge. Enjoy a picnic surrounded by fantastic rock sculptures reminding of beehives and let this atmosphere sink in. On the flight back to Kununurra, you get great views of the Argyle Diamante Mine and the rough embankments of the Osmand Range. This day will provide you with unforgettable memories that you will keep all your life.

Day 7: Katherine – Cooinda (Kakadu National Park) (B)

After breakfast, we start today’s touring day with a 2-hour cruise through the spectacular Katherine Gorge.

Nourlangie Rock, a site of impressive Aboriginal galleries, presents a mix of up to 20,000 years old rock art.

Accommodation: Gagudju Lodge Cooinda, Yellow Water

Day 8: Cooinda (Kakadu National Park)  – Darwin (B)

An impressive boat cruise in Yellow Waters will give you the rare opportunity of viewing the many varieties of wildlife in their natural habitat. As this area is a beloved resting ground during the dry season, you will be both amazed and delighted to see such an abundance of bird types and observe crocodiles within such a close range. At Ubirr Rock – in the heart of the Kakadu National Park – you will find enough time today to wonder and gaze in caves at rocks of Aboriginal rock art (the world’s oldest art gallery), and also to enjoy a wonderful panoramic view over Kakadu Park. A further stop in the Mamukala Wetlands will allow us to observe thousands of magpie-geese, a fantastic World Heritage Protected area of UNESCO. We reach Darwin in the evening, where your unforgettable tour ends at your pre-booked accommodation.
