BROOME to DARWIN over 17 Days

EXPEDITION SUMMARY

This expedition will take you over 17 days along the famous Gibb River Road starting in Broome W.A. and finishing in Darwin NT. There’s no better way to experience true northern Australia than over land.

We begin visiting a series of the most spectacular gorges, where you’ll have difficulty deciding which one is best. We’ll swim in some of the most beautiful waterholes you’ll ever see, each with their own characteristics and requiring some physical effort to reach. Waterfalls, sunshine, good food and the expanse of the outback will fill your days. We take the Kalumburu Road northbound, passing Drysdale River Station and onwards to Mitchell Falls. Enjoy a short helicopter flight over the region followed by a Fishing Charter at Honeymoon Bay, where we’ll get amongst some extraordinary top end species.

Back down to the GRR and after crossing the famous Pentecost River we arrive at El Questro Station, our home for a couple of nights where we’ll have the opportunity to explore this magnificent outback property. An opportunity to fish for Barramundi or hike and swim at Emma Gorge.

Kununurra is where we re-stock our supplies before heading to Lake Argyle, with a presence and size that demands a 2 night stay. So much is on offer from a sunset cruise to a scenic flight [optional extra] – it’s your choice!

On crossing the NT border we stay a night in Judbarra (formerly Gregory) National Park, before making our way to the spectacular Katherine Gorge. Enjoy two nights and one full day exploring Litchfield National Park before ending our trip in Darwin.

EXPEDITION OVERVIEW
There’s no better way to experience the Kimberley than a cross country expedition. A mixture of landscapes, remoteness, iconic townships and unique characters.
No camping experience is necessary, just a desire to experience camp life under the stars and some luxury overland travel.
A medium level of fitness will be required together with a willingness to jump in and lend a hand.
The best time to be in Kimberley country is in the middle of the dry season. So perfect timing!
Fly into Broome and out of Darwin and have a ton of fun in between.
This expedition is suitable for one, two or three travellers. This is not a ‘boys only adventure’, couples or singles are most welcome.
This is also offered as a Tag-Along Tour.
