Descriptions

DAY 1 Broome - Fitzroy Crossing

Head into the Kimberley landscape, crossing the mighty Fitzroy River, which rises 17m during the wet season. En route stop off at the Prison Boab Tree. Explore the 'cowboy' town that is the centre of the West Kimberley cattle country. Derby is home to the Royal Flying Doctor service, perhaps call in and take a tour. Drive deeper into the Kimberley along the highway that connects Western Australia and the Northern Territory, passing Boab Trees and Pandanus Palms as you drive through the heart of Cattle Country.

Overnight Fitzroy Crossing Accommodation.

DAY 2 Discover Tunnel Creek & Windjana Gorge

Engage 4wd to explore Tunnel Creek, hideaway of Jandamarra the Aboriginal freedom fighter. Take a torch, and shoes are recommended to wade through Tunnel Creek. Explore Windjana Gorge, see fish fossils millions of years old in 100 metre tall limestone cliff walls. See fresh water crocodiles, archer fish, cherabing and fruit bats in the canopy of cool forests.

Overnight Fitzroy Crossing Accommodation.

DAY 3 Explore Geikie Gorge

Geikie Gorge National Park is 20 minutes from Fitzroy Crossing. The forest fringing the river includes cadjeput, river gums, freshwater mangroves, native figs and pandanus palms. The tropical reed forms dense stands on the banks, while wild passionfruit scrambles over trees and shrubs. Many tropical aquatic life forms live in the waters of the Fitzroy River. The striped archer fish shoots down insects in flight or from foliage overhanging the river by squirting a thin jet of water. Freshwater crocodiles bask on the riverbanks. There are very good interpretive facilities at the park, including a 'Reef Walk" and short 'River Walk', a ranger run boat tour, and also an Aboriginal cultural cruise through the gorge's 30m steep walls. The traditional owners, the Bunaba people, call the gorge Darngku. It has very special Aboriginal significance. (Note the park has limited access and facilities during the wet season Dec-Mar due to flooding).

Overnight Fitzroy Crossing Accommodation.

DAY 4 Fitzroy Crossing - Broome

Today head back towards Broome. Arrive back in time for a well-deserved swim on Cable Beach. Direct driving 259 km (3.05 hours)

Depts: Any Day (Apr-Dec). Book early - the Kimberley sells out fast.
