Kimberley & Pilbara
Kimberley Highlights No.2
Aug 18 - Sep 3, 2016
- Your choice This trip is divided into three very different sections. Choose any one or do them all.
- Great Swimming The Kimberley is hot at this time of year but there are many beautiful pools where you can cool off with a swim.
- Spectacular scenery The Cockburn Range contains one of the most spectacular gorge systems in the Kimberley. The Carr Boyds contain some great waterfalls.
- More than just walks The trip is a wonderful experience you'll never forget.
Section 1: Ord River Canoe: Aug 18-21
We begin with a leisurely paddle between the dams on the Ord, watching the birds and doing some short acclimatisation walks along the way
Note. No previous canoe experience is necessary. This is as easy a paddle as you can find. The walks take you to some lovely waterfalls you can't get to in any other way. It makes a great way to prepare yourself for the longer walks which follow.

Section 2: Carr Boyd Range: Aug 22-27
After a night in Kununurra at the end of the first section, we take a boat back up the Ord and get dropped off near a series of waterfalls. After a swim at the first pool, we climb to the top of the plateau.
Once on top, we work our way north, stopping to enjoy the many pools and waterfalls along the way. At the edge of the range, we are met by the vehicle which drives us back to Kununurra.

Section 3: Cockburn Range: Aug 28 - Sep 3
The Cockburn Range contains some of the most spectacular gorges in the Kimberley. Some of the walking is flat and relatively easy. Some of it includes rock hopping and walking along rock ledges.

Not only is the scenery specatcular, we also find a number of Aboriginal art sites.

Terrain and difficulty. The walking is a complete mix. Some will be flat and easy (just how easy depends on the current state of the vegetation which can vary dramatically from year to year). There will be some short, but steep climbs and some rock hopping. There are one or two places where floating your pack a short distance saves you a long and tedious climb. Overall, we rate this as moderate difficulty.
Your rewards are beautiful pools, gorges and an incredible Kimberley wilderness experience no other operator can offer you.
