• Scenic flight along the NT north-west coast
• Extensive flight over the Bungle Bungle Range
• The winding gorges of the Ord River
• Lake Argyle from the air
• Lunch and time to relax

Depart Darwin and fly over the outback, the Kimberley and the scenic north-west coastline of the Northern Territory. From Kununurra, the tour heads to the Bungle Bungles – huge sandstone domes shaped by twenty million years of erosion into striking striped towers. Only from the air can you truly grasp their scale and beauty.

The flight then follows the winding gorges of the Ord River to Lake Argyle, a vast freshwater lake set in the ancient landscape, before lunch, time to relax and the flight home.

The Bungle Bungle Range in Purnululu National Park is one of Australia’s most extraordinary landforms – hundreds of orange-and-black striped sandstone domes shaped over some 350 million years. The bands come from layers of iron oxide and dark cyanobacteria in the rock. Although Gija and Jaru people have known this Country for tens of thousands of years, the range was barely known to the wider world until the 1980s. It was World Heritage listed in 2003.

Seeing the domes from the air reveals the true scale of the massif, while walking among them takes you into hidden chasms and natural amphitheatres that are cool, quiet and full of stories.

Must-See in The Bungle Bungle Range

• The beehive domes – best appreciated from the air
• Cathedral Gorge – a vast natural amphitheatre
• Echidna Chasm – a towering, narrow slot canyon
• Piccaninny Creek and the southern domes

Lake Argyle was created in the early 1970s when the Ord River was dammed near Kununurra. Today it’s one of Australia’s largest freshwater lakes, scattered with more than 70 islands and home to tens of thousands of freshwater crocodiles, rare wallabies and huge numbers of waterbirds.

The surrounding country is classic Kimberley – rugged red ranges, winding gorges and ancient landscapes. Nearby, the former Argyle mine was once the world’s main source of rare pink diamonds.
