I'm here to tailor-make your perfect Australasia holiday. Give me a call and I'll use my expertise to create your personalised experience.

Embark on a 4WD adventure through the remote and wild heart of Western Australia’s Kimberley Region on our 11-night Gibb River Road fly-drive holiday.

Drive through intensely coloured landscapes and explore dramatic gorges with tumbling waterfalls and lush rock pools. Experience outback living at historic homesteads and working cattle stations. Explore the 700,000-acre El Questro Wilderness Park on horseback, on a 4WD guided adventure, or from the skies by helicopter.

Drive across the red sands of the outback and discover the mystical Purnululu National Park, an area that remained largely unknown until 1982. Here you will explore the distinctive bee-hive dome shaped Bungle Bungles and Cathedral Gorge.

The vibrant outback town of Kununurra is the gateway to cruises on Lake Argyle and guided tours of Argyle’s diamond mine. or scenic flights over Purnululu National Park and the mystical bee-hive dome shaped Bungle Bungles. Enter Northern Territory where you will stop at Katherine where you can take a cruise along Katherine River through Nitmiluk Gorge. Your final leg of the journey is north to Darwin, or you may wish to extend your tour and visit Kakadu National Park.

Itinerary

Upon arrival, you will be transferred the short distance from the airport to your hotel by coach. The evening is at your leisure; we suggest taking a stroll to Cable Beach with a chilled bottle of wine or a frosty cold beer to witness its enchanting sunsets.
Broome has many fascinating natural attractions to discover, including the red ochre cliffs and dinosaur footprints at Gantheaume Point. Scenic flights can take you out over the Buccaneer Archipelago and Cape Leveque, where the contrasting colours of the red cliffs, snow-white sand and turquoise sea all meet. Broome was built on the pearling trade, so a visit isn’t complete without a cruise to Willie Creek Pearl Farm.

Today you will collect your 4WD rental vehicle and be heading onto the unsealed and corrugated road of the Gibb River Road. Travel northwest to wade through the cool waters at Tunnel Creek National Park and make time to stop at Windjana Gorge National Park. Continue travelling on the Gibb River Road until you reach Saddlers Creek crossing, the entry point for Imintji Safari Camp. Hotel - Bell Gorge Wilderness Lodge

Ensure you refuel at Mount Barnett before arriving at your accommodation, the Mount Elizabeth working cattle station. Hotel – Mt Elizabeth Station
