Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the 22 kilometres of pristine sand and swim in the turquoise blue water that is Cable Beach. Wander through Chinatown or shop for pearls. This evening sit back, relax and watch the spectacular sunset over the Indian Ocean. Or you may like to take a camel ride along Cable Beach. Ask your Tour Director for details. Day 3 Fri: Fitzroy Crossing Travel to the Port of Derby, the oldest established town in the Kimberley, located at the base of King Sound. Visit the famous Prison Boab Tree, believed to be around 1,500 years old and used by the first police as an overnight holding cell. Travel through some of Australia’s biggest pastoral properties to the remote township of Fitzroy Crossing created by the early settlers to ford the mighty Fitzroy River. Hotel: Fitzroy River Lodge, Fitzroy Crossing. Day 4 Sat: Geikie Gorge This morning cruise through Geikie Gorge, which was formed by the waters of the Fitzroy River tunnelling through the Napier Range. During the wet season, the Fitzroy River rises over 16 metres, staining the limestone walls of the gorge and flooding the national park with seven metres of water. In the dry season, the river transforms itself into a quiet stream strung beneath the towering cliffs of the Devonian Reef. Watch for freshwater crocodile, fruit bats and wallabies as the 30 metre high walls of the gorge tower above us. Travel to Halls Creek, situated on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert, at the doorstep to the majestic World Heritage listed Purnululu National Park. Hotel: Kimberley Hotel, Halls Creek.	Day 5 Sun: Lirrgarn Argyle Diamond Mine Journey north of Halls Creek and enter the Argyle mining lease.

This afternoon visit the historic Durack Homestead, which was faithfully removed brick by brick and reconstructed to become a pioneer museum.
