Depart Broome to begin your exploration of the awe-inspiring Kimberley region. Journey on the Gibb River Road, a remote Outback highway that accesses some of the Kimberley's best scenery. At Windjana Gorge, where sheer cliffs tower above white sands, see the ancient marine fossils embedded in the gorge walls. You may also see freshwater crocodiles lazing on the banks of the Lennard River, which runs through the gorge. We travel to remarkable Tunnel Creek, a 750 metre-long natural tunnel carved through the Napier Range.
