Itinerary
8:00am: Pick-up from your accommodation or meeting point before tour commences. We leave Kununurra heading west out past the local swim beach and on to the Diversion Dam and surrounding sites. The history of the dam and Ord Irrigation Scheme is explained whilst driving past some of the varied crops grown in this food bowl of the north.
After a look at the iconic Ord River at Ivanhoe Crossing, we’ll head over to the north and then eastern side of town popping up lookouts and vantage points to gain a higher perspective of the town and surrounds. We wind along dirt and sand 4WD tracks to view rock art, ancient sandstone rock formations and a signature boab, all the while spotting for wildlife and bush tucker trees and shrubs.
After a gourmet morning tea under a shady boab or rocky ridge, we’ll point out some further local sights and provide information about East Kimberley events, culture and industry. The tour commentary and itinerary will aim to address your interests and answer your questions. At the tour end you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation or meeting point. Approx 11:00am
