Perth to Darwin

Pinnacles at sunsetThere'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 dolphinsMonkey 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.

...a great spot on the road through to Broome80 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.

KakaduKatherine - 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.
