7 Day 4WD Broome to Kununurra via the Gibb River Rd

Itinerary

Day 1 - Broome to Windjana Gorge (BC)

After leaving Broome we stop briefly at Willare Bridge to gaze in awe at the size of this river and the amount of water that flows in the mighty Fitzroy River during the wet season, continuing on we leave the bitumen behind as we head for the Oscar Range and on to Tunnel Creek, a 750 metre tunnel that passes under the Napier range rich in bush-ranger history: just ask your guide for the true story. (L.D.)

Day 2 - Windjana Gorge to Mt Barnett (C)

After spending a few pleasant hours exploring Windjana Gorge with its abundance of freshwater crocodiles it’s time to hit the track again as we travel along the famous Gibb River road to Manning Gorge and to watch the sunset over the Barnett Range. (B.L.D.)

Day 3 - Gibb River Rd and Gorges (BC)

A great day of swimming and hiking as we explore some of the Kimberley’s striking gorges - maybe Barnett, Manning, Adcock or Galvans depending on the time of year. Overnight bush camp. (B,L,D)

Day 4 - Gibb River Road to Parry Farm (C)

We continue along the rugged Gibb River Road, travelling through some ancient and spectacular country before crossing the Pentecost River and heading to the famous El Questro Station. We walk into the beautiful Cockburn Ranges for a swim under the waterfall at Emma Gorge. We call in at Wyndham and the Five Rivers Lookout before heading to our overnight camp at Diggers Rest Cattle Station or Parry Farm. (B,L,D)

Day 5 - Parry Farm to Bungle Bungles (C)

We start the day visiting the bird watchers paradise of Marlgu Billabong, then 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 bush camp. (B,L,D)

Day 6 - Bungle-Bungles (C)

The experience of a lifetime is available today with the optional* helicopter ride over, through, around and in between this unique 400 metre high Bungle-Bungle Range. We need all day here to explore this magical site known as “Purnululu” to the Aboriginal people. We will visit areas known as Cathedral and Picanniny Gorges and Echidna Chasm with its 150 metre sheer rock face. (B.L.D.)

Day 7 - Bungle-Bungles to Kununurra

This morning we engage 4WD to wind our way out of the Bungle-Bungles before heading to the capital of the North - Kununurra. This afternoon we explore Hidden Valley – just a stones throw from Kununurra township before saying farewell to our new found friends.
