Kimberley Family Holiday

Welcome to Broome! Or Rubibi, in the language of the Yawuru people, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which Broome is now located. Start your adventure straight away, setting off early this morning as you travel to the renowned ‘Boab Prison Tree’ and the start of the iconic Gibb River Road. Set up camp in Windjana Gorge National Park and enjoy lunch before heading to Dimalurru (Tunnel Creek) – a cave system carved through the Napier Range – to discover stalactites and a large variety of wildlife. Learn the legend of Jandamarra – an Aboriginal freedom fighter who used the tunnel as a hideout in the late 1800s. Towards sunset, you’ll arrive at your campsite for a delicious campfire dinner under the famous Kimberley night sky.

Spend the morning exploring the famous Windjana Gorge – a natural oasis in the outback where you’ll search for freshwater crocodiles, bird life and bushtucker. Cool off with an afternoon swim at Galvans Gorge among water lilies and boab trees and soak up the beautiful landscape. Tonight, you’ll be camping in Mt Barnett Cattle Station at a billabong oasis in the heart of Gorge country.

Today, explore the remote and spectacular Manning Gorge, surrounded by high cliffs. Cross the meandering Manning River, either by swimming or by pulley boat (the kids might want to hop into the boat!), then take on a bushwalk to the impressive Manning Falls. The kids will love swimming in deep clear pools surrounded by a rugged natural landscape. In the afternoon, relax, swim and play games by the Manning River before your group gets the campfire going for dinner and marshmallow toasting.

Enjoy a morning swim in Adcock Gorge today, surrounded by rainforest and sandstone ranges. You’ll then travel to Silent Grove to set up camp and enjoy lunch before exploring the spectacular Bell Gorge in the ancient Wunaamin Miliwundi Ranges. This idyllic retreat is home to cascading waterfalls and crystal-clear pools that were formed over millions of years ago. Enjoy dinner together before spending one last night under the stars.

Today you’ll return to the Gibb River Road as you head for the Norval Art Gallery in Derby. Here, you and the family can discover some of the great works produced by local Aboriginal artists. There is even an opportunity for the kids to have a go at producing their own! Later, you’ll arrive back in Broome where your trip comes to an end.
