THE OVERVIEW

For those who are a bit short on time however still want to experience the Kimberley’s most spectacular gorges on an iconic road trip, then our 7 Day Gibb River Road Explorer is for you. Traversing the entire Gibb River Road we stay in comfortable accommodation at working cattle stations, inside a conservation area and at a nature lovers paradise whilst exploring one of Australia’s last frontiers.

TOUR ITINERARY

DAY 1 – WINDJANA GORGE & TUNNEL CREEK

An early departure from Broome has us traveling down the Highway and Gibb River Road towards the picturesque Napier Range. Once a Devonian reef, these mountains are over 350 million years old and home to a diverse array of animals and plants. The perfect place to experience the stunning natural beauty of an outback oasis is the 3.5km geological wonder of Windjana Gorge. Beneath gorge walls rising 90m, we search for freshwater crocodiles and local birdlife. After lunch, we explore Tunnel Creek, a 750-metre cave system carved through the Napier Range, in which we discover secret caves and subterranean wildlife. It is here we also learn the legend of Jandamarra, an Aboriginal freedom fighter who used the tunnel as a hideout in the late 1800’s.  We continue our journey along the Gibb River Road before arriving at our accommodation for the night.

Many came and went, some perished, however others were the backbone of opening up Northern Australia and their legacy lives on. This afternoon we arrive at our accommodation in the heart of a working cattle station.
