🚗8 mapped stops
A 410-mile outback track through the ancient Kimberley region — one of the last true wilderness drives on Earth. Gorges, waterfalls, and Aboriginal rock art older than the pyramids. 4WD essential. Fuel and water planning critical. Note: driving is on the left.
이 투어의 정차 지점 (8)
- 1 Derby — Boab Prison Tree The western starting point. The 1,500-year-old boab tree, 14 meters in circumference, was reportedly used to hold Aboriginal prisoners in the 1890s. A sobering start to a journey through ancient country.
- 2 Windjana Gorge A 3.5-kilometer gorge cut through a 350-million-year-old Devonian reef system. Freshwater crocodiles sun on the banks of the Lennard River. The reef was once beneath a tropical sea.
- 3 Tunnel Creek A 750-meter cave carved through the Oscar Range by a creek that still flows through. Freshwater crocodiles, bats, and stalactites inhabit the darkness. Bring a waterproof torch and wade through.
- 4 Galvans Gorge A short walk leads to a palm-fringed waterfall and plunge pool — a perfect swimming hole in the Kimberley heat. Aboriginal Wandjina art adorns the rock shelter above the falls. Fuel up at the last station.
- 5 Mount Barnett Roadhouse The only fuel and supply point on the central Gibb. Run by the Kupungarri Aboriginal community, it provides diesel, basic food, and camping. Plan your fuel range carefully — the next stop is far.
- 6 Manning Gorge A swim across a creek and a one-hour walk leads to a stunning waterfall dropping into a deep pool. The upper gorge reveals Aboriginal art sites painted over tens of thousands of years.
- 7 Mount Elizabeth Station A working cattle station offering accommodation since the 1940s. Scenic helicopter flights reveal gorges and waterfalls inaccessible by road — the Kimberley's true scale is best understood from the air.
- 8 Barnett River Gorge A series of cascading pools connected by small waterfalls. Each pool is warm and crystal-clear. The isolation here is profound — you may be the only visitors for days.
