The Kimberley is a place in the edges of Australia famous for its inhabitants of powerful men and women plus its countless crocodiles. With the arrival of different foreigners eager to see what Australia has to offer, many locations in the continent have modernized to welcome these tourists. The unique scenery that The Kimberley is best known for is unreachable for most areas in the country.
In this large area of about 350 to 650 square kilometers along the northwestern part of Australia specifically cited on the acme of Western Australia is where 25,000 natives live in. It's also home to the bountiful, crocodile infested Ord River, the magical and 350 million year old sand castles of the Bungle Range, and the lush, waterfall draped Emma Gorge. Getting to see these unique and astounding is only a three to five day trip packed with three different soft camping adventures that will surely leave tourist wanting to come back.
Taking a quick plane ride out southwest of Darwin in a town called Kanunurra, the two camp sites will only take about one hour to reach by car, while the last one is about half a day away, The monsoonal wet season which normally happens from November to April will bring about 18 to 22 inches of rainfall a day for The Kimberley. During this season, before, the Ord River would collect the excess water from the rain and overflow to the sea. When the Lake Argyle water project was instituted, collection of the outflow of water for the dry season was easier with the help of the dams and gates.
With the sixth largest artificial lake in the world, Lake Argyle provides the Ord River water that creates an even flow. Different types of creatures have convened in the Ord River now that it is able to provide them with a lasting source of water. Experiencing the pristine beauty of this place will lead you to the only two tour operators that give you the amenities and guidance you will need like campsites plus boating and fishing on the river.
Taking their guests for the one hour drive from Kanunurra to the northwest part is what the Blue Camp, an authorized operator, offers. With the many different views of Australia, this camp balance in a bluff is home to 12 adventurers. A common area where guest can just enjoy each other's company is provided by Bush Camp.
Reaching 215 meters up the desert around it, is the 350 million year old range The Bungle Bungle. Deep in the canyons and gulfs as well as the dome towers keep this range mysterious and beautiful. Orange black tiger stripped skin have protected these formations made up of fragile sandstone since the beginning of time. Rock paintings and burial areas is what the Bungle Bungle is for, over 20,000 years have passed for the Aborigines.
People have the fortune of seeing the ranges as the second camp allows them to fly over. Making the trip more exciting is a walking tour that allows them to see more breathtaking sites Australia offers. What Australian's say is their version of the pyramids can be seen by tourists as they move forward on their journey. The Cathedral George, allows guests to marvel at the structure that takes the shape of a bell. Leading to the end of the tour is a little pond that mirrors that 200 meters away blue sky.
Tourists get a chance to see Echidna Chasm, a structure that most people perceive as that of a snake moving in an elegant manner because of the narrow twists and turns it has, Livinstona palms measuring 15 meters up covers the corners of these gaps and gulfs. Taking all these sights in is an experience both remarkable and touching.
