Familles bienvenues!

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
C’est par bateau, sur le lac Argyle, que nous rejoindrons le début de notre randonnée. Nous remonterons le cours d’une rivière jusqu’à un bassin où nous pourrons nous baigner et bivouaquer.
Le lendemain nous marcherons à travers les spinifex vers un bassin d’eaux claires et chaudes surplombant une gorge spectaculaire.

To the top of Revolver Creek
We will keep going on our adventure to a little pass joining a gorge that we will follow through the Carr Boyd South area.
Les couleurs vives de ce paysage sont à couper le souffle pour la plupart des personnes qui visitent cette région pour la première fois.
And there are great water holes for those who like to swim.
Whilst on this adventure we will have to swim with our backpacks. It is not a difficult exercise if you have the right equipment. I have found that using a plastic bag is not adequate to ensure your gear is dry, for this reason, I will supply you with a waterproof bag to keep your gear dry (see below Green bag in the picture).
En cours de route, nous explorerons une petite gorge ressemblant à celles que l’on trouve au parc national de Karijini mais avec des eaux agréables à la baignade.
Our first week will end in a flooded chasm. We will need to swim about 300 meters (with the possibility of stopping for a photo halfway). On paper, swimming that far seems a little difficult but in reality, it is quite simple especially since the floating backpack performs similarly to 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 in the Carr Boyd North Range in a waterfall country
Exploring
One of the highlights of this second week is the campsites. The varied locations include, located on the waterfalls, in the heart of rainforests or Boabab 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.
On this part of our adventure, we will also be able to admire some rock art sites.
Et « d’art naturel » (Un dentrite long de 70cm)
Profiter de balades sans sacs à dos.
Tasty camp-cooked food!
Et partager nos souvenirs.
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.
Even during our adventure, I will endeavour to keep us in the present by trying to make sure that tomorrow only exists in our imagination. I would like you to disconnect from the business and stresses of our everyday life by surrendering to the present, focusing on walks and discoveries of this beautiful area of the range. Let yourself be guided for a few days without worrying about what will be tomorrow is a very simple and pleasant life experience, invigorating for the mind as well as for the body.
This adventure is reserved for people who can walk ten kilometres, which is within the reach of most of us. The difficulties we encounter are some steep climbs, off-track walking and the heat. Nothing insurmountable, however.
We recognise and acknowledge the Miriwoong Gajerrong people as the Traditional custodians of the Kununurra area of the East Kimberley and recognise 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.
