Travel Guides: June 16

This week Nine’s Travel Guides are in the Kimberley in far north Western Australia.

This will be the most remote holiday our Guides have ever had. They’re hopping aboard a luxury 4WD bus and having a crack at the great outback. The ancient landscape and thriving wildlife will impress even the most urban of our Travel Guides in a way they never imagined.

Arriving in the tourist gateway of Broome, our Travel Guides head inland along the famous Gibb River Road. Windjana Gorge welcomes our Guides to this extraordinary country… along with about 50 freshwater crocs.

Their ultimate destination is the huge Bungle Bungle Range in Purnululu National Park. A helicopter ride over these spectacular beehive shaped mounds leaves our Guides in awe. Even in this sparsely inhabited region, our Travel Guides aren’t doing it tough on this trip. They bunk down for the night at the luxury Bungles Bungles Wilderness Lodge. In these glamping tents there are enough comforts for even our most particular Guides.

In an area known for its superb hiking, our Travel Guides find their way through the Bungle Bungles to Cathedral Gorge where they test its impressive acoustics with their own versions of karaoke hits. The ancient sandstone rocks may never recover.

7:30pm Wednesday on Nine.
