 There's
so much to see and do in each area that a good plan is to ride
to an area one day, explore via bike and foot the next and then
move on to the next area on the following day. A day exploring
the surrounding area of each main centre gives you time to visit
the wonderful coastline and countryside and soak up the atmosphere.
Pinnacles Desert - 250km
north of Perth in the Nambung National Park you'll find these
incredible limestone pillars emerging from the desert. A dawn
or dusk visit is a must to capture them in the right light. Surrounding
the park are beautiful, empty beaches and a wildflower wonderland
in Spring.
Murchison River Gorges and Coastline
- Kalbarri is a lovely small town on the banks of the Murchison
River where it flows into the Indian Ocean. South of town are
spectacular beaches, huge towering red coastal cliffs and amazing
pink lakes. Kalbarri National Park is accessed by a good condition
26km gravel road. You'll see rugged outback with stunning gorges
carved out over the millennia by the Murchison River. Visit Z-Bend,
The Loop and Nature's Window. You'll experience the incredible
isolation of this pristine area and if you'd prefer not to take
the gravel road on the bike guided tours can be arranged.
 Monkey
Mia Dolphins - Wake up early and stroll down to the beach
to see wild dolphins just a metre or two from the beach! With
one eye out of the water they are genuinely interested in who's
there and it's amazing to see them playing so close to shore.
On the way in (or out) of this World Heritage Listed area you'll
see the huge views over Shark Bay from Eagle Bluff, walk on Shell
Beach made up of tiny cockle shells as far as the eye can see
& wonder at Stromatolites which are the earth's oldest living
fossils. They saw the dawn of life itself and are widely accepted
as being responsible for making the earth suitable for higher
life forms.
A great optional excursion at Monkey Mia is to walk with an aboriginal
guide who'll explain the history of the area, show you how to
find bush tucker, water and medicine and bring the barren desert
to life. It's a highly recommended experience and especially at
just AU$35 per person.
Ningaloo Reef & Cape Range National
Park - Ningaloo is the longest fringing reef in the world
and its isolated location means it is one of the most pristine
too. You can snorkel or dive on the incredible 300km reef simply
by stepping off the empty white beaches into the amazing underwater
world with over 520 species of fish and 250 species of coral.
Swim with manta rays and turtles all year round and whale sharks
in season (April to September) and then visit the deep red outback
gorges of Cape Range National Park before cruising up Yardie Creek
with a Ranger who will tell you all about the local area (optional).
Forget The Great Barrier Reef - Ningaloo is next to shore, remote,
pristine and with good facilities at the tiny village of Coral
Bay and the slightly larger town of Exmouth.
 80
Mile Beach - a great spot on the road through to Broome,
and as its name suggests, it is 80 miles long. There is a caravan
park available with all the regular facilities, and it makes quite
a nice spot for a break.
Broome - The tropical paradise
of Broome finally comes into view after the long slog through
the desert, with its beautiful Indian Ocean beaches and fantastic
climate; you may find yourself spending quite a bit of time here!
Gorges - Plenty of opportunities
present themselves for exploring the numerous, spectacular gorges
along the route between Broome and Darwin. Lennard Gorge, Tunnel
Creek and Windjana Gorge, are but a selection of the fantastic
sights just waiting to draw you away from the highway.
 Katherine
- the third largest town in the Northern Territory, most famous
for Katherine Gorge, the most spectacular of local attractions.
Located in the Nitmiluk National Park just outside the town to
the north east, Katherine Gorge is the most famous of a series
of gorges found inside the park.
Litchfield National Park -
A smaller brother to nearby Kakadu, Litchifield certainly doesn't
dissapoint! Fantastic waterfalls, plunge-pools and secluded atmosphere.
An easy day-trip from Darwin too.
Darwin - is the capital city
of the Northern Territory. A population of 111,300 makes it by
far the most populated city in the Northern Territory but the
least populated of all Australia's capital cities. Laid back,
multicultural, tropical and easy on the eye - all in all, a fantastic
place to relax after a fantastic trip. Of course the nearby attraction
of world famous Kakadu National Park, may mean you don't get much
rest at all!
This is a spectacular tour through the outback along an unspoilt
coastline with friendly people, and loads to see on the way. If
you'd like to see the 'real' Austrlalia - this is it.
