Day 1
Kununurra to Bullo River Station – Northern Territory
Lift off from Kununurra at 8:00am to soar over the Ord River Irrigation Area past the huge farms of the Ord Irrigation area. Fly low across the border into the NT, past the Keep River National Park, landing at a swimming hole for a swim and morning tea, winding your watch forward 90 minutes.
Day 2
Bullo River Station
Today is yours to enjoy as you wish.
The station has a 4,000-strong herd of Brahman-cross cattle, spread across half a million acres, and managing them is included in the list of daily tasks to do. You can get out on the station in a 4WD, all-terrain vehicle or on horseback.
Day 3
Bullo River to Kimberley Coastal Camp
We lift off after breakfast with the day’s delicious picnic on board. Today’s flight takes in the huge rivers and coastal properties of the top end. The incredible patterns in the mud flats surrounding the town of Wyndham where 5 huge rivers meet, emptying into the Cambridge Gulf where some of the Kimberley’s biggest estuarine crocodiles live. Crossing the Gulf we pass over ancient traditional lands of the Balangarra people. Flying onwards, the ranges rise ahead with the watercourses of the De Lan Court and Berkeley Rivers beneath us. We land at a scenic location to enjoy refreshments in a place where few others have ever been before.
Day 4
Kimberley Coastal Camp
This is a no-fly day where you can choose your wilderness experience. Spend your day fishing for the fabled Barramundi and dozens of other tropical species in the pristine azure waters the area is famous for. Explore this ancient land on foot, or by boat and experience the local birds, wildlife, bush tucker, ancient rock art and bush medicines first hand. You may prefer to take it easy on the boat, cruising and picnicking on deserted islands fringed by Boab trees, or sipping a cool drink from the day bed. The choices are yours.
