KIMBERLEY

 

Western Australia

 

 

The natural beauty of the Kimberley region in Australia's north-west is breathtaking. The half a million square kilometres of land has a rich and valuable history.

 

This amazing sketching tour takes us through some of the most stunning and unique scenery in Australia.

 

Starting in Broome with its uncrowded and pristine beaches, we spend a day exploring the town before travelling to Derby. Here we see the Prison Tree and find time for sketching the incredible landscape.

 

 

 

Driving to the quaint old town of Fitzroy Crossing, located on the riverbank, we  enjoy a cruise on the magnificent Geikie Gorge.  After an overnight stay, we travel to the Bungle Bungles Ranges in the Purnululu National Park. They were created about 350 million years ago and we have ample time to explore and sketch in the area.

 

We visit Halls Creek, the Ord River, the Echidna Chasm and Cathedral Gorge.

 

 

The serenity and beauty of El Questro is our next port of call. We can swim at Zebedee Springs, a hot thermal pool in an oasis, and experience the majestic Chamberlain Gorge before watching the unbelievable and spiritual experience of the sunset.

After crossing the Pentecost River we sketch some famous scenes of the Kimberley, and finally our tour ends in Kununurra.
