This is one of Australia’s classic journeys taking you along the Gibb River Road and the Mitchell Plateau to Kununurra. We journey through some of Australia's iconic areas featuring beautiful camping spots and famous resorts. Crocodiles, burning deserts, cool pools and superb company make this a once a lifetime journey (at least)! We see what it’s like to camp and hotel our way through the Top End of Australia in the footsteps of explorers and cattle drovers.
