Guide

AUSTRALIA LEADERS: All group trips are accompanied by a group leader. In Australia your group leader is often also your driver, taking you from start to finish. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. Your leader will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, as well as recommend great local eating venues. They will also introduce you to our local friends along the way. Please be aware they will be juggling many things on your tour and on some days may have less time to spend with you. But they will always be working hard to ensure you and your group have a fantastic time exploring Australia!

Itinerary of your trip Darwin To Perth Overland

  • Day 1 Day 1: Darwin / Katherine
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Darwin / Katherine

      Welcome to Darwin! Or Gulumerrdgen, in the language of the Larrakia people, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which Darwin is now located. Your adventure starts with a drive south to Nitmiluk National Park. Depending on the season, youโ€™ll take a swim in the natural pool by the base of Edith Falls and visit the croc-filled waters of Katherine Gorge. After lunch, youโ€™ll head to your private campsite on the edge of Nitmiluk, where you have the option of spending the night in a tent or snuggled up in a swag (an Aussie bedroll) under the stars.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Lake Argyle
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Lake Argyle

      Today youโ€™ll visit the huge (and absolutely gorgeous) Lake Argyle, which looks perfectly at home despite being entirely man-made. You have the option of taking a cruise here, where you can look out for the native fauna that has settled here โ€“ keep your eyes peeled for crocodiles, wallabies and the rare birdlife. Soak up the backdrop of mountains-turned-islands as you explore some of the 700 square km surface of the lake. Tonight, youโ€™ll camp under some seriously starry skies.

  • Day 3 Day 3-4: Purnululu National Park (Bungle Bungles)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3-4: Purnululu National Park (Bungle Bungles)

      Over the next two days, youโ€™ll explore the distinctive sandstone towers of the Bungle Bungle Range โ€“ which only became known to wider Australia when a group of documentary filmmakers stumbled across them in the early 1980s! Travelling by both foot and vehicle, youโ€™ll see craggy gorges, unique rock formations and hidden waterholes. Cap off a scenic day with a stunning Kimberley sunset from your bush camp. Day 4 is all about getting to know the Bungle Bungles from another angle. Your first stop is the ever-narrowing gap of Echidna Chasm โ€“ formed over millions of years by water flowing through an opening in the sandstone, the path winds through palm-filled gorges up to 200 m high (but in parts itโ€™s only 1 to 2 m wide). Next, trade the tight spaces for the wide-open natural amphitheatre of Cathedral Gorge.

  • Day 4 Day 5: El Questro Station
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: El Questro Station

      Hit the road again this morning, passing Warmun (Turkey Creek) and the Durack Ranges on the way to El Questro โ€“ not too long ago, it was mostly cattle that got to enjoy the million-acre sprawl of El Questro but the owners recognised the beauty and turned it into a wilderness park in 1991. At more than one and a half times the size of the UK, there are plenty of scenic spots to explore here!

  • Day 5 Day 6: El Questro Station
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6: El Questro Station

      On the drive in you will have got some clue as to the huge cliffs, deep gorges, waterfalls and swimming holes contained in the Cockburn Ranges, but now youโ€™ll be exploring them on foot. Walk to Emma Gorge, cool off in a waterfall-fed subtropical pool and bliss out in the thermal springs of Zebedee. (BLD)

  • Day 6 Day 7: Gibb River Road / Mt Barnett
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 7: Gibb River Road / Mt Barnett

      Weaving through gorges and rivers, youโ€™ll travel by 4WD along the wild Gibb River Road today โ€“ a 600 km stretch that winds right through the heart of the Kimberley. Youโ€™ve got a fair bit of ground to cover today, so thereโ€™s a fair bit of drive time, but youโ€™ll be breaking the journey up with a lunch stop and a few breaks along the way to stretch your legs. Tonightโ€™s camp is at Mt Barnett Station, close to Manning Gorge.

  • Day 7 Day 8: West Kimberley Gorges
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

  • Day 8 Day 9: West Kimberley Gorges
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 9: West Kimberley Gorges

      The western Kimberley region is full of endless stunning gorges waiting to be explored, and this morning is just for that. After breakfast, youโ€™ll adventure to Dalmanti (Bell Gorge) โ€“ home to a stunning cascade of water flowing from the previous wet season rains that fall in the King Leopold Ranges. Tonight, youโ€™ll camp at Bandilngan (Windjana Gorge) โ€“ a segment of a 375-million-year-old reef that was once underwater. Cut through by the Lennard River, which runs during the wet season and then breaks up into little billabongs during the dry season. This gorge attracts many species of birds and bats and is a great spot to see wild freshwater crocodiles!

  • Day 9 Day 10: West Kimberley Gorges / Broome
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 10: West Kimberley Gorges / Broome

      This morningโ€™s major attraction is Dimalurru (Tunnel Creek) โ€“ an extensive limestone cave system extending 750 m underground. Inside, shards of sunlight stream through crevices, little bats flutter above you and enormous stalactites point down from the ceiling. In the late 1800s, an Indigenous man called Jandamarra waged a one-man uprising against European settlers, becoming a hero to his people. Youโ€™ll hear a bit about his legacy during your time at Tunnel Creek, then youโ€™ll make the final drive to Broome, which is where some of your group members may leave the trip.

  • Day 10 Day 11-14: Broome
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 11-14: Broome

      Over the next four days sit back, relax and enjoy your beach break at the Kimberley Travellers Lodge.

Head to the Dampier Peninsula โ€“ youโ€™ll visit the Beagle Bay Aboriginal Community and the remote One Arm Point Aboriginal Community to tour a local aquaculture hatchery perched on the tip of One Arm Point, which overlooks the impressive Buccaneer Archipelago. Take in the views, then continue to Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm. Take a tour of the farm, which provides insight into the remote pearling industry.

      Leave Karijini this morning and travel through the vast bushland and station country on the way to Exmouth to set up camp for the night near Cape Range National Park, where you can kick back and watch the sunset as kangaroos hop around the grounds. The following day, enjoy a little freedom and relaxation. Maybe go snorkelling (equipment provided) or diving, maybe search for whale sharks if the season is right or view Vlamingh Head Lighthouse. If youโ€™d rather, just kick back on the pristine beach at Turquoise Bay and soak up the sunshine. In the afternoon, make the short trip to beautiful Coral Bay to our backpacker style accommodation, where you will spend the next two nights.
