Alpacka rafts

Kimberley - Western Australia

3 weeks packrafting the far Kimberley

DATES

17  March to 6 April 2024

16 March to 5 April 2025

21-Day Exploration of the Drysdale River. Leaving Kununurra by plane, we will fly North-West across the vast Kimberley to the Drysdale River station. Once at the station, we will inflate our Alpacka rafts to begin 14 days of paddling along the Drysdale River to near Solea Falls. We will take time to explore the extraordinary landscape along the river. We will paddle through tranquil pools linked by long and fun class 1 to 2.5 rapids. You need to be able to paddle with dexterity, to have a natural control of your vessel.
Along our route, hidden in space and the past are the mysterious Gwion Gwion figures, an ancient Aboriginal rock painting style describing a forgotten time of dancing and ceremonies.
In the last week, we will reach the superb Solea Falls and meet our seaplane for our return journey to Kununurra.

Kimberley - Western Australia

2 weeks in the far Kimberley

DATES

9 to 22 June 2024

8 to 21 June 2025

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.
