WILDERNESS ADVENTURES

After your pickup in Broome, we head out on the highway and head towards the famous cattle track, the Gibb River Road and head towards the Napier Range, once a Devonian reef. These escarpments are over 350 million years old and are 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 Bandilngan Windjana Gorge. Explore Dimalurru Tunnel Creek, a 750-metre cave system carved through the Range, in which we discover stalactites, secret caves and a variety of wildlife. It is here we also learn the legend of Jandamarra, an Aboriginal freedom fighter who used the tunnel as a hide out in the late 1800’s. This afternoon we re-join the Gibb River Road and traverse the scenic Wunaamin Miliwindi Ranges, before arriving at our overnight wilderness lodge accommodation.

Nature has created this landscape of unique orange and black striped ‘beehive’ geological formations over a period of 20 million years.
