Spend a full day in 4WD luxury experiencing inland Kimberley. Visit three of the Kimberley’s well known icons, the Prison Boab Tree, Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek - sights that will leave you with a great insight into this fascinating part of outback Australia.Set off on your journey traveling east from Broome into the Kimberley region. Heading over the Willare Bridge, crossing the mighty Fitzroy River for your morning tea break. Heading off, stop at one of the Kimberley’s most famous landmarks the massive ancient Boab Prison Tree, once used to house convicts. Whilst here view Myalls Bore.
Heading east through the Kimberley Cattle country, continue along the famous “Gibb River Road” arriving at Windjana Gorge for a scrumptious picnic lunch. Regarded as a classic world geological feature, the gorge is also a renowned freshwater crocodile spotting site. Keep an eye out for wildlife hiding in the Lennard River that runs through Windjana Gorge where the limestone walls rise more than 100-metres and are home to fossils of shells and sea creatures.
Afterwards, head to Tunnel Creek, a 750-metre long flooded cavern. On this great adventure walk, wade through knee to thigh high water and hear the story of Jandamarra. The Tunnel features many beautiful formations including stalactites and stalagmites, and is also home to a variety of bats, olive pythons and freshwater crocodiles.
Enjoy a swim at the end of the tunnel in a waterhole before heading back for afternoon tea and then heading back to Broome into the sunset. Time to stop en route for dinner (own expense). Expected time of arrival into Broome is approximately 10pm.
* Please note – A moderate level of fitness and mobility is required for this tour as you will be walking over uneven ground, climbing rocks and wading through water. You need to bring a pair of shoes that you don’t mind getting wet, either reef shoes or old trainers. Headlamp torches are supplied.
