Start your adventure straight away, setting off early this morning as you travel to the renowned ‘Boab Prison Tree’ and the start of the iconic Gibb River Road. Set up camp in Windjana Gorge National Park and enjoy lunch before heading to Dimalurru (Tunnel Creek) – a cave system carved through the Napier Range – to discover stalactites and a large variety of wildlife.
