15 DAY SAFARI TOUR
“Learn Survival & Bush Tucker in this Last Frontier”
DAY 1 Perth to Port Hedland [express overnight]. Day spent in town with a tour of the port & b.h.p. Iiron Ore operations. [World’s biggest Iron Ore operation] a picnic lunch at cemetery beach with an afternoon tour of the Royal Flying Doctor base, and a relaxing finish to the day, wading & swimming in the water at pretty pool. Overnight stay at eighty mile beach caravan park.
DAY 2 Up with the larks and on the road, as willare bridge is our destination today. Sandfire & roebuck roadhouses are all that is between eighty mile beach and willare. Overnight bush camp.
DAY 3 Heading east, we travel to caroline pool, a natural waterhole near old halls creek. It was once the main social & sporting area for the town, boasting a cricket pitch & competitive swimming. It is an ideal swimming spot during the summer and becomes a pleasant series of small water holes during the winter months. Overnight bush camp 2.
DAY 4 From here we head for the township of Kununurra where we take a break, pick up supplies and head out to lake argyle. At 670 square kilometres in size, lake argyle is so vast that it has developed its own eco systems based around native flora & fauna. We set up camp with time to relax before dinner. Overnight at caravan park.
DAY 5 Today we take an ord river cruise highlighting the magnificent scenery and wildlife that makes this huge expanse of water an integral part of the Kimberley landscape. Overnight stay at lake argyle caravan park.
DAY 6 An early start we pick up supplies at Kununurra before heading North to Wyndham and Jack’s water hole on the Durack river. 500 metres off the Gibb river road, on Durack river station, this oasis is ideal for swimming and barramundi fishing. Overnight bush camp.
DAY 7 The spectacular Manning, Barnett & Adcock gorges & waterfalls is our next stop providing an abundance of flora & fauna (especially bird life). A real blessing in such an isolate and dry climate. Overnight bush camp.
DAY 8 A seconday exploring the Adcock gorge & waterfall before heading to Windjana gorge. This ancient ocean reef that has been dissected by the continual flooding of the Lennard river has formed over millions of years beneath the sea. This “Devonian” reef is now several hundred metres above the land and contains many fascinating fossils which are easily found as you walk along the inner walls of this old reef. Overnight bush camp.
DAY 9 Full days hiking, takes in both Windjana gorge and Tunnell creek. Tunnell creek is a 750 metre cave system that has carved its way through the Napier range. Armed with torches we will walk and often wade through this underground watercourse and marvel at its unique features. You will see stalactites, small fish, fresh water crocodiles (the harmless variety), Aboriginal rock paintings and the rarest of Australian bats, the Ghost bat. Overnight bush camp at Windjana gorge bush camp.

DAY 12 Cable beach is a must, with a stop at the Japanese cemetery on the way. Next we have a guided tour of the crocodile park and see the ‘feeding time’. Lunch at cable beach with a swim or just sit on the grass under a shady tree and admire the view.
