(Past Ride) Darwin to Broome

The Kimberley Road Tour

Thursday 25th June - Friday 10th July 2009

The Katherine Gorge is a beautiful spot for an open boat, or a swim in the crystal clear water from Arnhem Land, before heading west on your bike through the Kimberleys.

Passing through Aboriginal land and National Parks, we cross massive Victoria River to Timber Creek, a cute little town steeped in history, like the carving in a baobab tree dated July 1856 by explorer A.C. Gregory.

Then it's Lake Argyle, many times bigger than Sydney Harbour, supplying water for the Ord irrigation system. Nearby is Argyle Diamond Mine, the largest diamond producing mine in the world.
