From traditional smoking ceremonies to captivating stories shared around the campfire, immerse yourself in the rich heritage of the region. Anglers will delight in the opportunity to fish in pristine river systems, chasing the elusive barramundi for an authentic outback meal.

The Journey

The tour spans from Home Valley Station on the Gibb River Road to the junction of the Carson River track and Kulumburu Road offer flexibility in direction. Whether starting from the north or south, prepare for a rugged adventure that begins with the exhilarating Durack River crossing.
