KIMBERLEY SHORT BREAKS

We join the Fairfield Leopold Road tracking through a stunning landscape of boab trees and limestone escarpments arriving at Tunnel Creek, a 750- metre cave system carved through the Napier Range, in which we discover stalactites, secret caves and a variety of wildlife. It is here we also hear of the legend of Jandamarra, an Aboriginal freedom fighter who used the tunnel as a hide out in the late 1800’s. After lunch,
our journey continues to the stunning natural beauty of Windjana Gorge with spectacular cliffs and an opportunity to get up close (but not too close!) with the endemic freshwater crocodile. After the gorge we hit the Gibb River Road, the legendary track completed in the 1960’s to expedite the movement of cattle from remote pastoral leases. Today it’s been upgraded and maintained by main roads however still presents a challenge to the intrepid traveller and is closed by the numerous water crossings during much of the seasonal wet. As the afternoon shadows lengthen, we make our way through cattle country to our evening accommodation.

Indigenous artists and learn the story of the local aboriginal spirit, the Wandjina. We tour historic Derby, sight of some of the highest tidal
movements in the world, where we will enjoy lunch down by the wharf. Our next stop is the famous Boab Prison Tree, believed to be more
than 1,500 years old and measuring an incredible 14 metres in diameter, this remarkable tree was once used by early police patrols as a
standing point for prisoners as they were walked to Derby. This afternoon we make our way back crossing the Fitzroy River with a return to Broome late in the afternoon.
