Tour Details - 2 Day Mitchell Plateau Wonders (Self Fliers /Self Drivers Land Only) 2012

Day 1. Mitchell Plateau, Big Merten Falls
After an early morning hotel pick-up, depart Kununurra, the eastern gateway to the Kimberley, by light aircraft at approximately 6.00 a.m. Our scenic flight lands on the remote Mitchell Plateau. Transfer to the exclusive Mitchell Falls Wilderness Lodge for a delicious breakfast. Enjoy a short drive, where the adventure continues with a local guide sharing knowledge and fascinating stories of the region as we begin our exploration of the beautiful Mitchell Plateau. It is one of the most pristine sites on the remote Kimberley coast of Western Australia, due to it being accessible only by helicopter or 4WD vehicle. Spending time at the plateau is, without doubt, one of the most rewarding experiences available in the Australian Outback. You’ll have the chance to walk to Little Merten Falls before continuing through woodland to inspect ancient and rarely viewed Aboriginal Gwion (Bradshaw) rock art paintings. Take in the breathtaking views as you continue to the stunning Big Merten Falls. The incredible spectacle of Mitchell Falls is created by the Mitchell River flowing over the massive plateau into the deep pools below. Enjoy a relaxing swim. After lunch, choose from a number of exciting options – hike out of the falls or choose to take a helicopter flight over stunning Mitchell Falls or a longer scenic flight along the beautiful Kimberley coast (own expense). Later, head back to the Mitchell Falls Wilderness Lodge.

Day 2. Scenic Flight to Kununurra
After breakfast, board a scenic flight that takes you over the dramatic landscapes of the Kimberley region. Take in the vast horizons of this frontier country before arriving in Kununurra.
