Drive the Gibb River Road in the Kimberley
The intriguing Gibb River Road is a staple of must-do Australian outback four-wheel drive excursions. This 1,166-kilometer trip into the heart of the Kimberley's red-dirt wilderness, which takes 14 days to complete from Broome to Kununurra, is best enjoyed from May to October.
Fly into Broome and enjoy the opulent white beaches of Cable Beach before continuing on to Derby. Observe breathtaking sunsets and the largest tides in the southern hemisphere from the jetty. It takes seeing to believe the churning, foaming waves of the Horizontal Falls' clashing tides. Do this by plane or take a fast boat ride to the center of the action.
