5- Purnululu & Carr Boyd Range NP
Kimberley. Western Australia
3 semaines
We will explore the two distinct areas of the Carr Boyd Range, North and South. You will experience refreshing swims in tropical rivers and turquoise natural pools, explore rugged gorges by foot and by swimming where only a few have tread, discover ancient rock art sites and camp on waterfalls or in boab country.
Purnululu National Park is a mythical and isolated world of breathtaking natural beauty. Beyond Cathedral Gorge, beyond the famous domes and beyond Piccaninny Gorge, in the heart of the park, in a world forgotten by tourists, carved by almost 400 million years of erosion, snuggled up in lost times, five small gorges are hidden: “The 5 Fingers”.

The expedition starts at 7:00 am on the date nominated. We will travel 4 hours by 4WD to commence our exploration deep into the Purnululu National Park.
On the first day of the expedition, we can expect to encounter daytrippers, but as we walk out of Cathedral Cave, we leave the crowds behind and enter a world only a few have seen. For the next six days, we will explore the five fingers.
We will be walking approximately 10-12km per day. I plan to leave camp very early each morning. Our day will start early to avoid walking in the day's heat. We will return to camp around 4 pm.
The weather in the area can vary greatly. Daytime temperatures can climb beyond 30° C, whereas it can be very cold in the evening.

DESCRIPTION PHOTO
PURNULULU NATIONAL PARK
Beyond the famous Cathedrale Gorge, which we will visit on the first day
Beyond the mostly dry bed of the Piccaninny River, which we will follow on the second day
Beyond the enigmatic domes, which are the symbol of the National Park
Au-delà de la tranquillité majestueuse de Black Rock Pool
In the heart of Purnululu National Park, in a world forgotten by tourists, carved out by almost 400 million years of erosion, snuggled up in lost times.
Five small gorges are hidden: the “5 Fingers”.
The “Five Fingers” are five small gorges, all five different from each other. Sometimes 200 meters high, the cliffs that form these gorges shrink, leaving the walker with only the space necessary for his progress. The light is dimmed, and the orange-red of the rock colours the daylight a light pink. The air is cooling. We evolve in a world of unreal dimensions.
The first gorge, Finger 1, is a series of increasingly long pools wedged between sandstone walls smoothed by the summer rains.
We enter the second gorge through a tunnel and then enjoy a pleasant stroll along natural corridors that end in pools.
The third gorge is full of surprises: a source of clear water discovered on purple rocks and a well that seems bottomless.
Et une grotte qui ne mène pas nulle part
You must invent your way between large blocks of sandstone to reach the well and the long, somewhat mysterious tunnel of the fourth gorge.
During my first visit, I preferred the Finger 5 because of its charm, which I discovered as an offering.
We will camp for four days in the Piccaninny Gorge, near a small body of water. I will take care of the dinner while you enjoy the swimming pools near the camp.
For those who are tempted, it is possible to get on a helicopter at the end of our hike to see from above what we will have discovered from below.

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.
We are sorry, there are no reviews yet for this tour.
