4 Day Bungle Bungles, Geikie Gorge, Windjana Gorge & Tunnel Creek: Broome Return

A great short break from Broome combining a 2 night stay in the World Heritage Listed Bungle Bungles Wilderness with the renowned icons Geikie Gorge, Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek.

Itinerary

Day 1: Broome to Bungle Bungle Ranges (L, D)
Setting off early from Broome at 6.45am we travel through the vast Kimberley outback to Purnululu National Park, recently listed as a World Heritage site. This spectacular wilderness park is the home of the Bungle Bungle Range. More than 20 million years of erosion and river movements have formed these huge black and orange striped domes. Travelling via Fitzroy Crossing and Halls Creek we tackle the rugged 4-wheel drive track into the national park, arriving late afternoon at the Bungle Bungle Wilderness Lodge. Here we enjoy a 2 night stay in the heart of this World Heritage wilderness.
Dinner & Overnight: Bungle Bungle Bushcamp (safari tents, share bathroom facilities). **Please note - no facilities to charge camera's, etc. available**    

Day 2: Bungle Bungle Ranges (B, L, D)
Today we have the day to explore the Bungle Bungle Ranges with our first stop at the stunning Echidna Chasm known for towering Livistonia Palms, here you can take an easy to medium 2 km walk. We then travel to the southern side of the Bungle Bungles Massif to take an easy to moderate 3 km walk into the natural amphitheatre setting of Cathedral Gorge, here try out the amazing acoustics within this gorge. Also while here an easy-paced walk along the dry bed of Piccaninny Creek is the best way to inspect the domes up close.  This afternoon you have the option to take a scenic helicopter flight over the Bungle Bungles (approx. $295pp, own expense), experience the thrill of taking off in a helicopter and enjoy views into incredible ravines and gorges below. Enjoy drinks as the sun sets over the Bungles, before returning to camp for dinner.

Day 3: Bungle Bungles to Fitzroy Crossing (B, L, D)
Travel back along the the rugged Bungles track and then onto Fitzroy Crossing, arriving at Geikie Gorge to enjoy a picnic lunch. Join the National Park Ranger for a fascinating cruise which takes us down the mighty Fitzroy River through Geikie Gorge, with the chance to spot geological sea fossils, crocodiles, exotic birds and other native animals. From here it's only a short drive to the Fitzroy River Lodge for our overnight stay. Tonight get to know your fellow travellers while enjoying a campfire barbeque dinner prepared by your driver/guide.
Fitzroy River Lodge, furnished Safari Cabins with private ensuite.

Day 4: Fitzroy Crossing to Broome (B, L)
Our first stop today is at one of the Kimberley's most famous landmarks the Prison Boab Tree, once used to hold indigenous people. Here we also view Myalls Bore, a 120 metre long trough built in the early 1900's used to water up to 500 head of cattle at one time. We then travel along the legendary "Gibb River Road", once used as the main stock route for the region. We turn off to enjoy lunch and explore 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. With torch in hand, take an exciting walk wading through the tunnel in knee to thigh high water and hear of the story of the renowned Aboriginal ‘Jandamarra' who used the tunnel as a hide-out. Following afternoon tea, we set off back to Broome with arrival approximately 10.30 pm after an en route dinner stop (own expense).
