ITINERARY
Day 1. Purnululu (Bungle Bungle) National Park, Echidna Chasm
Departing Kununurra, travel into World Heritage-listed Purnululu National Park, one of Australia's most fascinating landmarks and home of the famous Bungle Bungle Range. Travel via Warmun (Turkey Creek), head east down the Spring Creek Track, which leads into the national park. On arrival, join a hike along a Livistona palm-fringed trail - regarded as one of the best in Australia - into Echidna Chasm, a spectacular cleft in the rock massif. From here, continue to our exclusive Bungle Bungle Wilderness Lodge, in Purnululu National Park for dinner. Two Night Stay: EXCLUSIVE! Stay in tented ensuite cabins in Bungle Bungle Wilderness Lodge, Purnululu National Park. Lx1 Dx1
Day 2. Bungle Bungle Range, Cathedral Gorge, Piccaninny Creek
We rise early this morning and drive to the southern side of the Bungle Bungle massif. Explore majestic Cathedral Gorge and perhaps test out the acoustics within this natural amphitheatre. An easy-paced walk along the dry bed of Piccaninny Creek is the best way to inspect the domes up close. Discover hidden gorges and diverse vegetation. Your well-informed guide will bring the natural history of the Bungle Bungle domes to life and these strange beehive formations will seem even more fascinating once explained. Learn about the Aboriginal people's rich knowledge of the area and the cultural significance of the park. You can even learn bushtucker and bush medicine skills. There is time for an optional helicopter flight over the domes (own expense). Enjoy drinks as you watch the sun set over the domes, then return to the lodge for a hearty dinner. Bx1 Lx1 Dx1
Day 3. Old Halls Creek, Fitzroy Crossing
Examine the ruins of Old Halls Creek, the site of the first gold discovered in Western Australia. See China Wall, a curious quartz ridge, before continuing to Fitzroy Crossing. Home of the mighty Fitzroy River, the settlement is surrounded by some of Australia's largest and most productive pastoral properties. Accommodation: Fitzroy Crossing, Fitzroy River Lodge. Bx1 Lx1 Dx1
Day 4. Geikie Gorge Hike and Cruise, Broome
Enjoy a delightful morning cruising and hiking Geikie Gorge with our local guide. This cruise allows you to experience this amazing area from an Aboriginal cultural perspective. Take in the mighty Fitzroy River before our tour concludes in Broome at approximately 5.30pm. Bx1 Lx1
