Mitchell Plateau Discovery Itinerary


Day 1 Broome to Windjana Gorge

Depart Broome and travel to Derby to experience the Boab Prison Tree. The 1000-year-old boab tree used to be used as an overnight prison for Aboriginal offenders.

Leave the bitumen behind you and enter the rugged Gibb River Road, feeling the remoteness of the area almost instantly.

Marvel at the size of Windjana Gorge as you take an afternoon walk to it. Witness the walls of the gorge rising abruptly from the wide alluvial floodplain of the Lennard River.

Camp overnight in Windjana National Park where dozens of freshwater crocodiles abound.

Overnight: Camping overnight at Windjana National Park

Day 2 Windjana Gorge to Bells Gorge

Encounter Western Australias oldest cave system Tunnel Creek in the morning. The creek flows through a water worn tunnel beneath the limestone of the Napier Range – so bathers and a torch are a must.

Look out for bats and stalactites that descend from the roof in many places as you wade through the permanent pools of the tunnel. Ask your guide about the interesting history of Tunnel Creek and the Napier Range.

Travel to Bells Gorge in the afternoon and wonder at the water cascading down the perfectly U-shaped cliffs into a deep pool perfect for swimming.

Camp overnight at the big open area of Silent Grove near Bells Gorge.

Overnight: Camping overnight at Silent Grove

Day 3 Bells Gorge to Mt Barnett Station

Discover the beautiful scenery of the King Leopold Ranges in the morning on your voyage towards Galvans Gorge. Reaching almost 1000 meters in height, the King Leopold Ranges is the Kimberleys highest mountain range.

Relax by massaging your back on the rocks underneath the falls. The more energetic can have fun by swinging on the tree rope at Galvans Gorge before jumping into the water below for a swim. Enjoy a bushwalk to Manning Gorge in the afternoon. View the Aboriginal rock art that the area has to offer and explore the tranquil pools of water.

Camp overnight at Mt Barnett Station along Gibb River Road.

Day 4 Mt Barnett Station to King Edward River

Leave the Gibb River Road and travel along the Kalumburu Road to Mitchell Plateau, visiting Drysdale River Station along the way.

Appreciate the bird life that surrounds you at the Drysdale River or perhaps have the chance of a peaceful swim along the sandy bottom of the river.

Explore the banks of the King Edward River where you will set up camp for the night.

Head to the Bungle Bungle turn off and experience a very scenic, winding dirt road via the magnificent Osmand Range.

Enjoy lunch in the Purnululu National Park before undergoing afternoon walks to Echidna Chasm and Mini Palms Gorge. Witness the amazing 150-meter sheer rock face of Echidna Chasm and the lush rainforest vegetation of Mini palms Gorge.
