Hiking the Bungle Bungles is also spectacular as is Tunnel Creek and Windjanner Gorge but take care when driving on the beaches near Broome...you can get 'swept' away if you get bogged down. Drive WA from top to bottom via Monkey Mia, Wave Rock et al....either in a camper or with a tour group...many options at net of commission prices available to members of TheTopTravelClub.com.

I love the Orion: small, rugged (expedition-wise); staff not only impeccable but charming and friendly, food fantastic (not that I ate much, ha!), itinerary around the Kimberley excellent. This is my style of cruising, intimate and interesting. Any time, any place Orion - you've got me!
