A
day experiencing inland Kimberley. Three
of the Kimberley's well-known icons,
the Prison Boab Tree, Windjana Gorge
and Tunnel Creek leave you with a great
insight into this remote and fascinating
part of outback Australia.

We
set off on our journey heading north
to Willare Bridge, we cross the mighty
Fitzroy River and make a visit to one
of the Kimberley's most famous landmarks
the Prison Boab Tree, once used to house
convicts. Whilst here we also view Myall's
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 leave the coast and travel inland
along the famous 'Gibb River Road',
once used as the main stock route for
the region, before turning off to the
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 set off back to Broome
with arrival approximately 10.30 pm
after an en route dinner stop (own expense).
Important
Note: Accessing Tunnel Creek walk
involves 20 metres of clambering 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
rocky creek bed can cause cuts. To safely
navigate the tunnel passengers must
be able to walk and balance themselves
independently on uneven ground. Torches
are provided.
