The Scenic flight
Where the fishermen go to fish
In the culture of the Kimberley people, the Wandjina is a respected
and irritable spirit, who brings water and life to a parched land.
Join us as we explore the heart of the Wandjina country and marvel
at the landscapes, river systems and coast that these spirits have
nurtured.
Departing Kununurra we track west towards El Questro Station on
the Pentecost River, the spectacular Cockburn Ranges in full view,
and Home Valley Station. Your flight continues across the vast expanse
of the rarely visited Ngarnyin country, towards the beautiful Mitchell
Falls in Wunambal country, where the plane will orbit the falls
several times. The flight continues to the coast, to Port Warrender
and the Kimberley Coastal Camp, the rich pearl farms of Vansittart
Bay, the historic WWII Truscott airbase, and miles of exotic and
pristine coastline.
We arrive at the remote settlement of Kalumburu for an intriguing
glimpse of this remote community , built on the boarders of three
Dawang, Gamberre, Miwa and Ngarinyin country. Our guide and courtesy
bus will pick you up to visit the Kalumburu mission settlement,
a picnic morning tea is served on the Mission lawns. We then
visit the antiquated and fascinating museum, the Church and Bakery.
Our local guide will take you to visit the Art Centre (subject to
opening times) and the historic WWII aircraft graveyard and have
a picnic lunch under the shade of the paperbarks at the local swimming
hole. After 4 hours out at Kalumburu on the ground we depart for
the remote Timor Sea coast, overflying Faraway Bay, the spectacular
King George Falls, Berkeley River, and the mighty Cambridge Gulf.
At the mouth of the Ord River we track east following its meandering
path and tidal floodplains where saltwater crocodiles are often
seen soaking in the midday sun, we overfly House Roof Hill, the
recognizable backdrop to Baz Luhmans Australia movie. The Ord
River Irrigation Area and its expanding farmlands will then be revealed
as we set course for the green and vibrant townsite of Kununurra.
This is a fantastic all day experience, with an interface with a
remote community that very few people ever encounter, come and join
