We will explore the two distinct areas of the Carr Boyd Range, North and South.
The highlights in the North Carr Boyd are the campsites located on the waterfalls or in boab country, the swims in turquoise natural pools or in the deep blue rivers, the escarpment offering vast views across the range or the plains and hidden rock art sites.
At the end of the wet season, waterfalls and swimming holes follow one another along the languid rivers of the South CarrBoyd. We will explore spectacular gorges, some up to 200 metres deep, by foot and by swimming. We will provide you with the right equipment to keep your pack dry.

DESCRIPTION PHOTO
Carr Boyd South
We leave Kununurra by boat, crossing the beautiful and unusual landscapes of Argyle Lake to reach the start of our walk. We then start walking along the Revolver River to a waterhole where we can camp and enjoy a swim in a natural pool.
We will walk through the spinifex country, heading towards a swimming hole atop a dramatic gorge.

To the top of Revolver Creek
We will continue our adventure to a saddle, joining a gorge that we will follow all the way through the Carr Boyd South area.
The river landscape is delightful to walk. The vivid colours of this landscape are breathtaking to most who visit this area for the first time.
And there are excellent swimming water holes.
While on this adventure, we will have to swim with our backpacks.
Along our way, we will explore a very small gorge resembling a Karijini gorge with warm water.
Our first week will end in a flooded chasm. We will swim about 350 meters (with the possibility of stopping anywhere along the swim).
Swimming so long seems a little complicated, but it is pretty simple, especially since the floating pack performs like a big buoy.
CARR BOYD NORTH
On the other side of the chasm begins our second week.
We will pick up our food drop for week 2 to explore the Carr Boyd North, which is a waterfall world.
Exploring
One of the highlights of this second week is the campsites. The varied locations include the waterfalls, Savana forests, and Boab country.
In the evening, I prepare our 3-course dinner.
Pendant que vous profitez de la sérénité du Kimberley !
Et nous continuons de nous baigner dans des bassins aux paysages enchanteurs.
We can also admire some rock art sites on this part of our adventure.
And ancient "nature art" (70cm "seaweed" Dendrite)
Profiter de balades sans sacs à dos.
Tasty camp-cooked food!
And fantastic memories of the remarkable country we visited.
Je vous ai fait une description de cette marche sans rentrer dans les détails par ce que je ne veux pas casser la magie de la découverte.
During our adventure, I will endeavour to keep us in the present by ensuring that tomorrow only exists in our imagination. I would like you to disconnect from everyday life by surrendering to the present, focusing on our walks and discoveries of these beautiful ranges. Let yourself be guided for a few days without worrying about what tomorrow will be. Staying in the present is a very simple and pleasant life experience, invigorating for the mind and the body.
This adventure is for people who can walk ten kilometres, which is within the reach of most of us. The most important thing is being consistent walkers able to walk for one hour without stopping. The difficulties we encounter are steep climbs, off-track walking, and the heat. However, everything is manageable.
We recognise and acknowledge the Miriwoong Gajerrong people as the Traditional custodians of the Kununurra area of the East Kimberley and their continuing connection to land, water, and community. We pay respect to Elders past, present, and emerging.

2021-05-27The little-known Carr Boyd Ranges lie west of the huge and impressive Lake Argyle, source of the Old River irrigation scheme. This is rugged and breathtakingly beautiful, ancient sandstone country punctuated by deep gorges and seemingly endless, beautiful fresh water swimming holes, making the hot, dry walking climate easy going. The vegetation and rock formations form a beautiful palette of greens and reds against the brilliant blue, cloudless skies. The nights were cool (no tent fly was needed however) and the night sky brilliant with stars. The ‘dark emu’ was clearly visible on nights with less moonlight. We moved from beautiful campsite to another beautiful campsite, every day ending with a cooling swim, relaxing in the shade and dinner before an early bedtime for the star show. A helicopter transported us from South to North Carr Boyd Ranges, allowing a different perspective of the amazing country through which we were walking. The beautiful campsites, gorges and views from the North Carr Boyd escarpment are too numerous to mention.

2021-05-04Walking the South and North Carr Boyd Range in the heat of April was going to be a challenge. With intimate knowledge of the area, a well structured schedule and attention to everyone’s needs, our leader, Sebastian, made it a pleasure. Walking across rugged ranges, exploring unexpected side gorges and swimming in pristine waterfall-fed pools will long be remembered. So too will be visits to lesser known features of the area that only an experienced and knowledgeable guide can provide. A great experience that I would commend to anyone with a spirit of adventure.
