First stop is the remarkable Magnetic termite mounds before stopping at Edith Falls for a refreshing swim. Tonight, we bush camp in the Victoria River region.
We start day two with a hike into the Victoria River escarpments to see unique rock paintings and scenery in Jubarra National Park. We then cross the border into Western Australia and arrive at Lake Argyle, Australia’s largest man-made lake. Our Lake Argyle island adventure will begin when we board the cruise vessel to explore the islands and bays in search of wildlife including the Short-eared rock-wallaby, wallaroo, Freshwater crocodile, and numerous fish species and bird-life. We’ll also have the opportunity to plunge into the cool waters and take a refreshing swim before we head to the island to set-up camp.
We will enjoy the welcomed solitude and sunset with a campfire meal, before resting for the night ready to be woken by the sound of water, wildlife and an unmissable sunrise. When we are ready, we'll pack up and head back to the mainland for breakfast.
Once our tummies are full we will drive into Kununurra for a brief stop before embarking on a challenging off-road adventure into Purnululu National Park (Bungle Bungles) where we will hike into Echidna Chasm. Tonight we will camp in Purnululu (Bungle Bungles) National Park.
The next day we hike through the magnificent world-heritage Bungle Bungles to Cathedral Gorge, the Window and Piccaninny Creek Lookout. There will also be the option of a scenic helicopter flight starting from $320.
We will farewell the Bungles and start the Gibb River Road, heading into the Cockburn Ranges to Emma Gorge, a pristine swimming hole. We then continue onto the famous El Questro station where we will camp for the night. You will be able to grab your own meal and quench your thirst at the Swinging Arm Bar with locals and fellow travellers.
We'll spend the next day continuing to explore El Questro, first we will visit a series of crystal clear hot springs known as Zebedee Springs before embarking on an adventurous hike up the palm-filled gorge known as El Questro Gorge. At the top you will be rewarded with a swim in the spring-fed waterfall. We will drive to our bush camp, which will include crossing the well-known Pentacost River.
