Day 1 - Faraway Bay, The Bush Camp at Faraway Bay, 3 nights

The Bush Camp at Faraway Bay, 3 nights

Depart from Kununurra via private charter plane for the 70 minute flight to your remote bush camp. Arrive in camp in time to enjoy lunch overlooking the waters of Faraway Bay. Bruce & Robyn Ellison named their camp Faraway Bay because ‘it is so far from anywhere’.

Each of the 8 bush-style cabins enjoys a 180-degree view of the ocean. There is a freshwater swimming pool perched on the edge of the cliff looking across the bay.

In the afternoon, let Bruce take you out in the boat for a sneak preview of his local area. Perhaps a swim in a waterhole at the foot of the escarpment, which comes right to the coast, or looking for one of the pairs of Ospreys, that live nearby. Dinner will be served after watching the sun’s rays disappearing behind the sandstone cliffs of the bay.

Day 2, 3 and 4 - Faraway Bay Bush Camp

Fill your days with adventures including cruises up the Kimberley coast to the King George River, where, after the wet season the falls cascade over a hundred foot cliff into the gorge below. There are few places in the world where you will see mighty inland rivers come crashing out from the interior of a continent and into the sea as towering waterfalls – this is one of them.

South of the camp Monitor Pool is a magnificent circular plunge pool at the foot of imposing basalt and sandstone cliffs and a refreshingly cool and safe place for swimming.

Wander along empty beaches, cook fresh fish over the hot coals on an impromptu picnic, bush walk and discover ancient aboriginal art.

The blue waters of the Indian Ocean are seductively enticing but enter them at your peril – saltwater crocodiles (some as long as 20 feet) and sharks inhabit this coastline. It is more comforting, yet still exciting, to watch them, an occasional school of dolphins or a circling sea eagle from the safety of the camp swimming pool.

Watching the sun descend across the ocean as it sets aglow the red sandstone cliffs of the Kimberley coast is a memorable way to pass the evening.

Day 5 - Departure

After breakfast, your aircraft will arrive to fly you back over the East Kimberley coast to Kununurra.
