We set off on our journey heading north to Willare Bridge, we cross
the mighty Fitzroy River and break for morning tea at one of the Kimberley's
most famous landmarks the Prison Boab Tree, once used to hold convicts. We also
view Myalls Bore, a 120 metre long trough built in the early 1900's used to
water up to 1,000 head of cattle at one time. We travel inland along the famous
'Gibb River Road', once used as the main stock route for the region. Onto
pre-historic Windjana Gorge, regarded as one of the classic features of world
geology and a great freshwater crocodile spotting site. From here we head to
Tunnel Creek, an amazing 750 metre long flooded tube tunnel. We take an exciting
walk through the tunnel wading through knee to thigh high water in some sections
and hear the story of Jandamarra. Following afternoon tea we travel to Fitzroy

Day 2 - Fitzroy Crossing to Broome (B,
L)
This morning we travel out to Geikie Gorge for a memorable 3 hour
Darngku Heritage Cruise hosted by local Aboriginal Bunuba Cultural guides. Our
tour includes boat cruise through Geikie Gorge down the Fitzroy River. En route
the guide will involve you in a fascinating view of Aboriginal culture,
Dreamtime stories, bush tucker, animal tracks and traditional plant uses and
cultural practices. We view geological sea fossils and spot native animals
including birds and crocodiles and visit the old camping area of Bunbura people
where we have the rare chance to take an optional (strenuous) climb to a
panoramic lookout. All the while your Bunuba guides will engage you in
discussion and participation of traditional practices. From here we head off for
our return trip to Broome with an en route break for afternoon tea with arrival
in Broome at approximately 6.00 pm.
Important Note: Accessing Tunnel Creek walk involves 20 metres of clambereing over boulders and 700 metres of wading through knee to thigh high water (shorts are ideal). Strap on sandals or old sandshoes must be worn through the water as the creek bed is rocky and footwear is required to avoid injury. To safely navigate the Tunnel passengers must be able to walk and balance themselves on uneven ground. Torches are provided.
