10 days in the Bungle Bungles and East Kimberley
I’ve seen more of Australia in the past three years than I have in the past three decades, and the East Kimberley is definitely one of the highlights. We spent ten days in the region – visiting Lake Argyle, exploring the breathtaking Bungle Bungle Range, swimming at magical waterfalls at El Questro, and indulging in some remote luxury at the Berkeley River Lodge.

Driving from Brisbane to Karumba via Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill)
The road from Brisbane to the Gulf of Carpentaria takes you through the heart of Queensland – to iconic rivers, mystical gorges, historic pubs, drought-affected farmland and sites of frontier wars. There are places to gaze at the stars, to watch raptors riding the thermal currents, to hear the stories of the bush and to see the remains of dinosaurs that once roamed this terrain. We hitched up our Patriot camper trailer for an unforgettable 5,500km outback journey.
