10 Night kimberley expedition
2008 Departures - April 30, May 10, June 18, July 9, 19, 29, August 8
Orion's 10 night Kimberley Expeditions in 2008 will undertake an in-depth exploration of this remote coastline, one way from Darwin to Broome. This voyage also operates in reverse. Nothing can fully prepare you for the dramatic contrasts of Australia's north-west, rich in Aboriginal culture and galleries of ancient artwork. Towards the west, in the historic pearling town of Broome, the colours of nature are vibrant and intense: rich red earth, azure blue seas and brilliant white sand beaches. North of Broome lies the ragged Kimberley coast, a place you can only comprehend from the sea. Rugged gorges, inlets, waterfalls plunging 100 metres all combine for an awe-inspiring experience you simply can't have by travelling overland.
