Tour Overview

Leaving Broome we trust you have taken a few days to explore this magnificent part of the world, from its turquoise blue water, to its bleached white sands and rusted red earth. Its has a history of cultures all living together that has influenced everything from its architecture to its cuisine. A wonderful place for a couple of days rest.

We now embark on a tour that is as unique as Broome itself. Following the path of the mighty Fitzroy River we head west along its flood plain, for a cruise at Geikie gorge. A beautiful gorge carved into limestone along the rivers path. Fitzroy Crossing is also the first of our remote galleries.

This tour then progresses further west to the start of the Tanami Desert track, and onto the now famous Wolfe Creek Crater. Making our way past Sturt creek we head for Bilaluna community and onto the Canning Stock route for our journey around Paruku  (Lake Gregory), a world heritage sanctuary for bird life. Where we will see flocks of brolgas, and many other water birds. We make our way to two very remote communities of Mulan and Balgo. Balgo is said to be the start of the dot art painting, and wonderful painting of Paruku.

From here we head back to the Tanami track for a short while before heading to Papunya, another wonderful remote art gallery. We are now at the start of the west Macdonnell ranges and will enjoy visiting gorges and chasms as we make our way to Alice springs for our tour end. This tour has it all, a unique experience in remote Australia that you will cherish forever.
