Tour Description
Departing Broome at 7.00am, we travel up the spectacular Dampier Peninsula. William Dampier first stepped ashore here in 1688 at Cygnet Bay. Now largely Aboriginal-owned, the peninsula is home to a range of language groups and is a delight for travellers seeking a real Kimberley experience that is culturally rewarding in a beautiful environment.
Travelling up the iconic red 4WD track, through distinctive pindan woodland, our travellers wil learn all about the peninsula's fascinating place in Australia's history from our guided commentary. Enjoy morning tea in the Beagle Bay Aboriginal Community, a regional heartland of Catholic missionaries and home of the Sacred Heart Church with its glimmering pearl shell altar. We then visit nearby One Arm Point Community, the perfect place to view the impressive Buccaneer Archipelago and witness the huge tidal flows of the Kimberley – the largest in the southern hemisphere! The Community's own aquaculture hatchery, complete with reef fish and trochus shell, is perched right on the tip of One Arm Point and is well worth a visit.
Heading for beautiful Cape Leveque (locally known as Kooljaman) we set up by the sea for a delicious picnic lunch before a relaxing afternoon on the pristine beaches the cape is famous for. Whether you prefer ocean swimming, sunbathing, taking leisurely walks along the beach or exploring rock pools, the afternoon is yours to enjoy as you please. If the tide is right, our guide can share with you some of the hidden snorkelling sites, teeming with reef fish, clams and other colourful sea life. You may like to bring a fishing rod or hand line and try your luck – there is always room in the esky for your catch on the home trip!
Returning south, we take a side trip to the friendly Lombadina Aboriginal Community for a town tour, including a visit to the bush timber church and the opportunity to pick up a souvenir at the Community's craft shop. This tour provides us with a privileged insight into indigenous life on the Kimberley coast.
As dusk closes in over the peninsula, we begin our journey back through the challenging Kimberley terrain, arriving in Broome at approximately 6:30pm.
