This is a dedicated walking adventure in remote terrain, therefore while you don’t need to be a superhero, you do need to be fit, active and sure on your feet to participate in this trip. This itinerary involves some clambering over rocks, wading in water by torchlight, walking in hot weather conditions (sometimes with little shade), walking on rocky creek beds and ascending & descending into gorges.
Western Australia is a big state, so travelling significant distances is necessary to fully experience the highlights. You will soon discover that they are well worth the journey.
Camping really is the best way to experience the Kimberley - connect with nature and leave less of a footprint. Camping in Kimberley National Parks involves dome tents (single/twinshare), swags with fitted sheets & pillows with pillow cases. On site amenities include hot showers and flush toilets. -
