40 | 4WD ADVENTURES 4WD ADVENTURES From jaw-dropping scenery, amazing wildlife and Aboriginal culture, take a deep breath and let your senses run wild in the Kimberley. You'll be left speechless one day, then a storyteller the next. PAGES 40 - 59 With fewer than one person for every 1,000 square kilometres, Australia's last frontier is showcased at its best on an epic 4WD adventure. Once a stock route in the 1960s, the mighty Gibb River Road with its numerous attractions provide the main artery that flows through the Kimberley's true heart. Explore spectacular gorges, plunge into natural pools and explore the wonders, from stunning Mitchell Falls to the striking Bungle Bungle Range. Along the way, stay at the region's best stations and resorts. Enjoy an in-depth discovery of the pearl town, Broome, getting up close to unique wildlife, learning about pearl cultivation and taking an iconic camel ride along spectacular Cable Beach. Perhaps continue further north through Kakadu National Park, cruise Katherine Gorge and discover spiritual Arnhem Land. A GLIMPSE OF THE SIGNATURE EXPERIENCES THAT AWAIT Explore Purnululu National Park and discover the depth of the Bungle Bungle Range. Walk along Piccaninny Creek, test out the acoustics of Cathedral Gorge and as the sun begins to set, enjoy drinks overlooking the striking colours of the range. Within the staggering one million acres of the iconic El Questro Wilderness Park, enjoy a moment to soak in the hot thermal pools of Zebedee Springs, renowned for their calm healing waters and luscious surrounding vegetation. Discover the beauty of Mitchell Falls during an included helicopter flight over the stunning tiered waterfalls and surrounding wilderness. Visit the Wandjina and Bradshaw Art (Gwion Gwion) rock art galleries, arguably some of the world's oldest. Evidence suggests the earliest occupation in the region may date back up to 60,000 years ago.
