| Considered
one of the great marvels of the Kimberley,
our experience at Geikie Gorge is brought
to life with a memorable Aboriginal
cultural tour providing a fascinating
insight into the people and prehistoric
geology surrounding this treasured landform.
Setting
off from Broome we break en route for
morning tea (own expense) before arriving
at the township of Fitzroy Crossing.
Following a brief town tour we head
to nearby Geikie Gorge where we enjoy
a picnic lunch.
Afterwards
we join a memorable 2 hour 'Darngku
Heritage Cruise' hosted by local Aboriginal
Bunuba Cultural guides (GG1). Our tour
includes a boat cruise through Geikie
Gorge down the Fitzroy River. On this
great tour, your guide demonstrates
how to make fire with sticks and provides
a fascinating view of Aboriginal culture,
Dreamtime stories, bush tucker, animal
tracks and cultural practices. (This
cruise is operated in boat featuring
canopy shading from the sun and exclusive
to our tour group).
Alternatively
take a 1 hour 'Geikie Gorge Cruise' with CALM National Park Authority (GG2). This tour involves a one hour waiting period prior to the cruise.
On
both cruises spot native animals including
birds and crocodiles. Following afternoon
tea we head back to Broome breaking
en route for an optional dinner (own
expense) with arrival in Broome approximately
10.30 pm.
