Visit Durack Homestead Museum to explore the lives of early pastoral families in the East Kimberley. See a homestead that was carefully moved and reconstructed before its original site was inundated.

Its relocation preserves a tangible link to the region’s pastoral history while illustrating the sweeping changes brought by the Ord River Irrigation Scheme. The building and its setting offer insight into both frontier life and the creation of Lake Argyle.

Experience Katherine Outback Experience, where songs, stories and demonstrations bring the Northern Territory’s pastoral culture to life. This engaging presentation introduces the people and skills associated with working on the land.

Expect humour alongside firsthand insights into outback life. Rather than a conventional sightseeing stop, the experience offers a lively connection to the traditions and day-to-day realities of the region’s cattle country.

Meet your fellow travellers over drinks and a welcome dinner in Broome, with a sunset over the Indian Ocean setting the scene for the journey.

Broome’s warm evenings and coastal outlook make this a relaxed introduction to the Kimberley. Share a meal, get to know the group and settle into the easygoing atmosphere of this former pearling town.

Visit Gantheaume Point on Broome’s coast to discover the story of dinosaur footprints left more than 125 million years ago. Take in the shoreline and the striking contrast between its red rock and turquoise water.

The tracks preserve evidence of creatures that crossed this ancient landscape long before the Kimberley took its present shape. Their visibility on the shore depends on tidal conditions, but the coastal setting offers a vivid sense of the region’s deep geological past.

Explore Mimbi Caves with a local Indigenous guide, walking among limestone formations, vivid mineral colours and clear freshwater pools. Discover ancient rock paintings and hear stories connected to this significant place.

The cave system preserves remnants of a Devonian reef more than 350 million years old. Billy tea and damper offer a welcoming setting for learning about First Nations culture. The caves are dimly lit, with uneven, rocky walking surfaces.

Go behind the scenes at family-owned Hoochery Distillery near Kununurra to learn how its rum is made with Australian sugarcane, rainwater and yeast. Meet the people behind the operation and enjoy morning tea.

The distillery’s story is closely tied to the Ord River Irrigation Scheme, which brought water to local farmland. This visit connects a distinctive Kimberley product with the agricultural landscape that makes it possible.

Walk with your Travel Director through Mirima National Park near Kununurra and hear how its distinctive landscapes were formed. Examine the layered sandstone formations that have earned the park its nickname, the “mini Bungles”.

Close to town yet rich in outback character, Mirima offers an accessible look at the geological forces that shaped this part of the Kimberley. Its sculpted rock and changing colours reward a slower pace on foot.

Cruise through Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge on Jawoyn Country, looking up at sandstone cliffs that change colour as the light moves across them. The river-level view reveals the scale and quiet beauty of this dramatic landscape.

Nitmiluk comprises a series of 13 gorges carved through the national park. This MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience also brings the history and culture of the Jawoyn people, the Traditional Owners, into focus.

Explore Darwin on a city tour that introduces its architecture, tropical character and waterfront setting. Learn about the events that have shaped the Northern Territory capital.

Darwin’s streets reflect a history marked by the Second World War and later rebuilding. The tour places the city’s present-day atmosphere in context, offering a broader understanding of this northern port and its place in Australia’s story.

See the Horizontal Falls from the air on an optional scenic flight from Broome. Take in the remote Kimberley coastline and the narrow gaps where powerful tides force water between rock formations.

The aerial perspective makes the scale of the tidal movement and surrounding wilderness easier to grasp. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour; flight routes and views are subject to operating conditions.

Visit a pearl farm near Broome to learn about the care involved in growing and harvesting cultured pearls. Discover the precision behind a product closely associated with this stretch of the Western Australian coast.

Pearling has played a defining role in Broome’s history and multicultural identity. Seeing the process firsthand adds depth to the town’s galleries and pearling heritage. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Discover Wyndham, Western Australia’s northernmost town, and take in the surrounding landforms and wetlands. This small outback settlement offers a different perspective on the Kimberley from its gorges and rock pools.

Wyndham stands near the meeting of major river systems and has long served as a gateway to the region’s remote north. Look out across a landscape shaped by seasonal water, broad tidal flats and the rugged ranges beyond.

Cruise Lake Argyle at sunset, watching the light shift across its expansive waters and surrounding Kimberley hills. Keep an eye out for freshwater crocodiles and birdlife along the shoreline.

Created by the Ord River dam, the lake is a striking result of the irrigation project that transformed the Kununurra region. Its open water and broad horizons offer a quieter way to appreciate the scale of the East Kimberley.

Get out on the water for an Ord River cruise in the Kununurra region. See the river landscape from a different vantage point, where waterways bring a ribbon of green to the surrounding East Kimberley terrain.

The Ord is central to the region’s agricultural story and its network of wetlands and lakes. Cruising offers time to observe the river environment and appreciate the contrast between its waters and the rugged country beyond.

Pause at the Adelaide River War Cemetery to reflect on the impact of the Second World War in Australia’s north. Walk through this carefully maintained place of remembrance beside the Adelaide River.

The cemetery commemorates people who lost their lives during a period when the Northern Territory was directly affected by wartime events. It offers a thoughtful counterpoint to the Kimberley’s natural sights and adds context to the region’s recent history.

Fly over the Bungle Bungles for an aerial view of the striped sandstone domes of Purnululu National Park. From above, see how the formations rise from the vast East Kimberley landscape.

The domes’ distinctive bands and clustered shapes make this World Heritage-listed area especially compelling from the air. This scenic flight is at additional cost and bookable on tour, with operation subject to conditions.

Travel by 4WD into the Bungle Bungles for a ground-level encounter with the sandstone formations of Purnululu National Park. The journey offers a closer perspective on this remote East Kimberley landscape.

Known for its banded, beehive-shaped domes, Purnululu reveals different textures and colours at ground level than it does from the air. This 4WD experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour; its route depends on the excursion offered and local conditions.
