Day 3 - Broome – Derby – Fitzroy Crossing

Today we depart Broome and head for Derby. Enjoy a look around town and visit the Boab Prison Tree before joining the start of the Gibb River Road.

We visit an Art gallery before visiting Dimalurru (Tunnel Creek), where water has carved a large tunnel through the limestone Napier Ranges. At 750m long and up to 20m in height in places, this was formed 350 million years ago as part of an ocean reef system.

Later today, we continue to Fitzroy Crossing, arriving late afternoon to check in to the Fitzroy River Lodge.

*We recommend packing water/reef shoes to take part in the Tunnel Creek walk

Day 4 - Fitzroy Crossing - Halls Creek – Bungle Bungles

This morning, we depart Fitzroy Crossing and continue along the Great Northern Highway before we turn off the highway to Mt Pierre Station, where we will veer onto a track that will lead us to Mimbi Caves.

Your local guide will take you through this natural wonder, which is part of the 350 Million-year-old Devonian Reef system. This amazing cave system will take your breath away with its vivid colors and limestone rock formations.

Listen to Dreamtime stories and learn about one of the most significant Devonian fossil sites in the world from the local Gooniyandi people. Enjoy freshly brewed tea and damper made the traditional way by your guides using native seeds.

Afterward, we travel to Halls Creek for lunch. This afternoon, we continue east and turn off to the World Heritage Listed Purnululu National Park (the Bungle Bungles). Enjoy two nights at the Bungle Bungle Savannah Lodge, owned by Outback Spirit in partnership with Aviair/Helispirit. The lodge features comfortable cabins with ensuite bathrooms. 

*The walk into the Mimbi Caves is uneven, and you will need to be reasonably confident on your feet. In the caves, the light can be poor and in some places non-existent. Those suffering a fear of closed spaces should be mindful of this.

  • Stay: Bungle Bungle Savannah Lodge
  • Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Day 5 - Exploring the Bungle Bungles

Afterward, enjoy a walk along Piccaninny Creek to the mind-boggling natural amphitheater of Cathedral Gorge. Then follow the 'dome trail' for a closer inspection of the park's unique geological formations.

This afternoon, we'll head to the northern region of the Bungle Bungles to visit Echidna Chasm before returning to the lodge.

Once we reach the dam wall, we board our coach and return to Kununurra by road, stopping off at the Argyle Homestead Museum along the way.

Enjoy a 90-minute gorge cruise and feed some of the cheeky Archerfish before returning to Emma Gorge Resort via the Station township.

After lunch, enjoy a guided walk up to the stunning Emma Gorge waterfall (2.5 hours return – a good level of fitness required, but well worth it). Enjoy a swim in the large rock pool at the base of the falls and marvel at the beauty of the gorge, one of the best in the Kimberley. Upon returning to the resort, the rest of the afternoon can be spent at your leisure before re-grouping for dinner. 

  • Stay: Emma Gorge Resort

Day 9 - Zebedee Springs – Gibb River Road - Drysdale

You'd be hard-pressed to find a better way to start the day than a swim in the warm, crystal clear waters of Zebedee Thermal Springs. We'll spend a relaxing morning here before resuming our journey west along the Gibb River Road.

Cross the mighty Pentecost River and continue past Ellenbrae Station to the 'Y' junction. From here, we follow the Kalumburu Road to Drysdale River Station, which runs 9,000 head of cattle across more than 1 million acres. We spend the night here in comfortable station cabins with private ensuite bathrooms.

  • Stay: Drysdale River Station

Day 10 - King Edward River – Mitchell Plateau

This morning, we continue north along the Kalumburu Road before turning onto the Mitchell Plateau track. After fording the King Edward River, we'll visit a series of spectacular Wanjina rock art galleries, known as some of the best in the Kimberley.

After a picnic lunch, we drive through an ancient Livistona Palm forest before arriving on the Mitchell Plateau mid-afternoon.

Featuring deluxe Safari Suites with ensuite bathrooms, quality furnishings, and large balconies, Outback Spirit's Ngauwudu Safari Camp is the most luxurious and spacious accommodation on the Mitchell Plateau. Built exclusively for Outback Spirit guests, it's truly a magical spot to spend the next two nights of our adventure and the ideal base from which to discover the Mitchell Plateau and Mitchell Falls.

This afternoon, take a dip in the camp's private palm-fringed waterhole or simply relax in your safari suite. Enjoy a drink around the campfire at sunset before retreating to the restaurant for dinner. 

  • Stay: Ngauwudu Safari Camp
  • Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Day 11 - Exploring Punamii-Uunpuu (Mitchell Falls)

A big walk today, but also a big highlight! After a short drive to the ranger station, we'll set off on a guided 4km walking tour to the incredible Mitchell Falls (good level of fitness and mobility required). Along the way, we'll discover rarely seen Gwion and Wanjina rock art galleries, accompanied by a local expert guide from Kandiwal Community. The walk also takes us past Mertens Falls before arriving at the top of the Mitchell Falls, one of the most awe-inspiring wonders of the Kimberley.

After a picnic lunch and enough time to admire the falls, we'll take to the skies for a spectacular helicopter flight (included) back to where the walk started. Viewing the falls and the surrounding landscape from the air is an absolute highlight and a great way to finish off the experience. Once we're on the ground at the ranger station, we return to the camp for a well-earned rest and perhaps a swim in the palm-fringed creek.

Please Note: For passengers not wishing to do the Mitchell Falls walk, there is an option to fly down by helicopter. An Outback Spirit guide will still escort you. The flight cost is $179.00 per person (own expense). Please note: Weight limits apply to all scenic flights
