It’s a short hop by air from Perth (Boorloo) to Broome (Rubibi). Flights depart daily from Perth, and get you there within two and a half hours. Regular direct flights to Broome are also available from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. On arrival, hire a 4WD and explore the town while preparing yourself for a truly unique outback adventure. It’s worth spending some time exploring the exotic pearling port of Broome, soaking up the melting pot of cultures and enjoying the beauty of Broome’s world-famous Cable Beach. When you’re ready to start your Gibb River Road adventure, head for Derby – an easy two-hour drive by sealed road from Broome. As the first town settled in the Kimberley, Derby presents unique insights into the region’s convict and colonial past at the Boab Prison Tree and Wharfinger's House Museum. The Kimberley School of the Air offers a glimpse of modern life on the edge of a vast outback wilderness. At sunset, head to the jetty to witness some of the largest tidal movements in the southern hemisphere. Choose from local station stays, or hotel, motel, bed and breakfast and camping options. Stay an extra night and hop on a half-day scenic flight of two of the world’s Horizontal Waterfalls (Garaanngaddim) and the 1,000 islands and islets of the Buccaneer Archipelago.
