Purnululu was only known to Aboriginals People and a few adventurers. Listed as a World Heritage Site since 2003, Purnululu still remains a mythical and very isolated world of breathtaking natural beauty.

Purnululu National Park is a mythical and very 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, 5 small gorges are hidden: “The 5 Fingers”.

The "5 Fingers" are therefore 5 small gorges, all 5 different from each other. Sometimes 200 meters high, the cliffs shrink, leaving the walker with only the space necessary for his progress. The light is dimmed, the orange-red of the rock collars the daylight a light pink. The air is cooling. We evolve in a world of unreal dimensions.

We will explore the two distinct areas of the Carr Boyd Range, North and South.

We will navigate the waters of Lake Argyle to the South Carr Boyd. At the end of the wet season waterfalls and swimming holes follow one another along the languid rivers of the range. We will explore spectacular deep gorges on foot and sometimes by swimming.

"Bush swimming" in the main gorge is fun and will open our minds to explore the country from a different perspective.  We will provide you with the right equipment to keep your pack dry.

The highlights in these ranges are the campsites located beside the waterfalls or in boab country under the stars. We will swim in the deep blue rivers and walk to a warm turquoise natural pool fed by water seeping through the cliff. The escarpments offer vast views across the range of the Dunham River plain and we will discover hidden rock art sites.

14-Day Exploration of the Drysdale River in the Solea Falls area.

Drysdale River National Park is one of the least accessible national parks in Australia. There are no public roads, no airstrips and no tracks so it is a really appealing environment for the Notraces philosophy.   The park is located in the North West corner of the remote West Kimberley. The Drysdale River flows through a pristine landscape of untouched landscape, this is the kingdom of nature. The Park showcases vast tracts of Kimberley wilderness, and features open woodland, gorges, cliffs, waterfalls and the creeks of the Drysdale River.

Hidden in space and the past are the hypnotic Gwion Gwion figures, an ancient Aboriginal painting style describing a forgotten time of dancing and ceremonies.

We will walk along the Drysdale River, exploring some wet season side creeks, swimming as much as possible, fishing sometimes and camping in dream sites.

We will then meet our sea plane for our return journey to Kununurra.

Top End - Northern Territory - Australia                                  

3 days

DATES

20-22 July 2023

Discover the hidden treasures of Kakadu!

This three-day tour will take you off the beaten path, up to the heights of Jim Jim falls and further along the sandstone escarpment that leads to the Arnhem Land plateau. Along the way, we may discover the ancestral signs of the Aboriginal people's presence on these culturally rich lands. With red or yellow ochre paintings, we are reminded that the landscapes of Kakadu are both natural and cultural. Perhaps during these days, you will feel the presence of the Aboriginal people who have lived in these places for more than 65,000 years. We will camp on the banks of the Jim Jim river and on the flat rocks of a dried-up river where your guide will prepare your dinner.
