One of the lesser-known areas of Australia’s fascinating Kimberley region is the ‘Jurassic Coast’. Located at Gantheaume Point, just outside of Broome on the Dampier Peninsula, you will find beautiful turquoise waters, bright red rocky shores, and incredibly well-preserved dinosaur footprints! Not quite what you’d expect to find in Western Australia, walking in the millions of years old footsteps is quite the experience, unlike anywhere else on Planet Earth.
From the Hunter River and King George River to Horizontal Falls and the tropical Buccaneer Archipelago, there are endless opportunities for intrepid adventurers to get out in nature and soak up the wonders of this mysterious destination on a bushwalk. Enjoy the songs of colourful tropical birds such as pink galahs and red-tailed cockatoos, and keep an eye out for crocs as you trek through the Kimberley’s beautiful national parks and hidden nature spots.
From the weird and wonderful Bungle Bungles to the crocodile nesting-ground of Lake Argyle, Kununurra is a fascinating and remote area of the Kimberley. Taking a helicopter flight over the awesome Purnululu National Park and gliding over the tops of the unusual striped, beehive-shaped rock formations is the ultimate way to experience the region and a great addition to your Expedition Cruise.
