Join us for seven days of trekking in the East Kimberley.   After a warm welcome at Digger’s, and a relaxing evening around our camp fire, you will enjoy a peaceful night in one of our comfortable bush huts or bunkhouse rooms.  Awaking  to sunrise on the Cockburn Ranges, we saddle up and begin our week of adventure by horseback.

 

• Day one  Riders get to know their horses on the first day.  Taking time to saddle up, we head out for a ride out on the islands of the King River.  Riders return to the station for lunch, and perhaps a little kip in the shade. Our afternoon ride takes us to the north, over a ridge and across salt flats, for a spectacular sunset on the marsh.
• Day two Weaving amongst the numerous boab trees on Diggers, we swing by the famous boab Prison Tree on the bank of the King River, and pull up for lunch at Duck Hole on Cockburn Creek.  The afternoon ride  follows a brumby pad over a low rise, and finishes up at a beautiful waterhole off the King River.
• Day three the route heads down along a small creek system then up again over a gradual rise, with magnificent 360 degree views of the valley.  We tuck back down to billabongs off the King River and finish up at Cockatoo Camp, alongside a shallow billabong, good for a splash.
• Day four Continuing down along the King River, we pass by gum tree lined billabongs, skirt along the base of a ridge, and ride into our shady spot on the King River for lunch.  With views of Wild Dog Hill, and the Cockburn Ranges becoming ever closer, we head over rolling hills until we come to our night camp by an open billabong.
• Day five Early rise and shine, and we are off along the Gibb River Road for a few rises, and then down into a valley of creeks, enormous boab trees, and more spectacular views of the Cockburn Ranges.  We meet the tucker wagon for lunch under an ancient boab with limbs bigger than many a tree.  Our afternoon ride takes us along a magical little creek, which runs into First Creek.  Following this system along brings us to our night camp on an open flat perfect for star gazing from your swag.
• Day six The morning route takes us up through a beautiful valley that narrows into a steep saddle.  The scenery is spectacular, and well worth the effort.   We come out atop a lookout over El Questro, make our way down a switch back, and over to the fresh water Pentecost River.  The camp at the El Questro township and hot showers are calling!  The late afternoon can be spent swimming in the cool waters of the Pentecost, or taking a bush walk to one of the many scenic places in the valley.
• Day seven  Waking up to the sound of the river running past our camp, we have a leisurely start to the day.  Our route today takes us around the El Questro Valley, taking in Moonshine Creek, Scottie’s Yard and many a fresh waterhole.
