4 DAY 1: Sunday 1st July, 2018 MELBOURNE-DARWIN Welcome to our fabulous tour to Kununurra for our stay and play holiday. This means that once we arrive in Kununurra, we can unpack our bags, relax and enjoy our holiday! We have an early start with pick-ups from home transferring us to the Melbourne Airport to connect with our non-stop flight to Darwin. On our arrival, we will be met by our O Shannessy s escort and embark on a sightseeing tour of Darwin. We ll visit the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and Cyclone Tracy Gallery. An inspection will reveal permanent galleries of aboriginal art, maritime archaeology and the ever popular Sweetheart and Cyclone Tracy exhibits. We ll also take in the sights of Darwin, the historic target of the enemy bombs during WWII and now a popular promenade and entertainment hub with excellent outdoor eateries and sometimes, exhibitions. We pass Parliament House which was built on the site of the bombed Post Office. Parliament House is a fine example of contemporary tropical architecture. After our sightseeing we check into our accommodation where we can relax before dinner. Lunch own arrangements / costs OVERNIGHT: Double Tree by Hilton Esplanade, DARWIN DAY 2: Monday 2nd July, 2018 DARWIN TO KUNUNURRA We ll enjoy a leisurely breakfast this morning and check out at 10.00am in time for our transfer to the airport. Because of

5 the time change, we arrive in Western Australia before we left Darwin! Our O Shannessy s coach will be there to meet us. We ll now be introduced to Kununurra. The town was established as the residential and administrative centre of the Ord River Scheme - a huge irrigation scheme that was developed in the 1970s. We ll be hearing a lot about the Ord River Scheme and Lake Argyle in the next few days! First stop is lunch at the Sandalwood Cafe. After lunch, we move into the Sandalwood Showroom where we ll learn about the soil-to oil process in one of the world s most prized fragrant timbers. We view a video, then feel samples of the wood in its various stages - from log to wood powder - and smell the sandalwood oil that has been an important ingredient in perfumery since Egyptian times. We then head out to Ivanhoe Crossing which is the place where Ivanhoe Road crosses the Ord River. This used to be the main and only road to Wyndham in the old days... We continue our sightseeing, passing by mango orchards, citrus, melons and a sandalwood plantation. We visit Kimberley Ornamental Stonecraft which shows stone art and jewellery skillfully handcrafted from gemstones and unique Kimberley rock including the fine banded Zebra stone. We ll have plenty of time to look through the gallery before checking into our hotel where we have time to unpack and settle in. OVERNIGHT: The Kimberley Grande, KUNUNURRA DAY 3: Tuesday 3rd July, 2018 THE ORD RIVER SCHEME We can t actually visit the Purnululu National Park (the Bungle Bungles) properly on a day tour from Kununurra but

6 we can take a scenic flight over it! Early morning today is the time to do it this is an optional flight (Approx. $399). For those of us who choose not to fly this is the perfect opportunity for a sleep-in! Mid morning, when the flyers return, we drive towards Lake Argyle, stopping enroute to visit the Durack Homestead Museum. The homestead was originally built in 1895 by the Durack family on Argyle Downs Station (now mostly submerged by the lake). The famous pioneering Durack family home became known far and wide as one of the social gathering places of the East Kimberley. Constructed of handcrafted limestone blocks with crushed termites mounds used as mortar, it was a magnificent building for its time. During the early 1970 s a decision was made to remove the homestead before Lake Argyle began to fill in order to preserve this magnificent building for all time. The homestead was dismantled stone by stone with every stone coded in such a way so as to be able to be rebuilt with every stone back in its original position. The homestead now lives on as a museum dedicated to the pioneering spirit of the Durack Family. We travel on to Lake Argyle where we enjoy our lunch at the Tourist Village. Another highlight of our tour to the East Kimberley will be our cruise this afternoon from below the massive wall of Lake Argyle into Lake Kununurra, 55 kilometres downstream. The Ord River Scheme was a progressive and far sighted move to develop the tropical north of Western Australia. During the wet the rivers of the East Kimberley become raging torrents. At times the Ord River can empty 50 million litres a second into the Cambridge Gulf! OVERNIGHT: The Kimberley Grande, KUNUNURRA

7 DAY 4: Wednesday 4th July, 2018 ZEBRA MINE TOUR This tour is one highlight after another - but today will be THE one to remember! Mid-morning, we make our way to the actual Zebra Mine where we spend the rest of the day. Lunch will be freshly caught Silver Cobbler and they say the lunch hits a 10 on the fish n chipodometer!! We ll take a tour of the mine then enjoy our afternoon tea. We then board our Wetlands Cruise; the wetlands are situated on the eastern side of Lake Argyle where the many creeks feed into the dam. We re sure to see a huge variety of birds, in particular, Mr and Mrs Osprey and nest, Brolgas, Cormorants, Ibis, Egrets, Darters, Corellas, Herons, Whistling Ducks, Magpie Geese, Sea Eagles just to name a few! We might see a few Johnston Freshwater Crocodiles too. How does some sparkling wine and nibbles sound as we watch the sun set over Lake Argyle (the only place this can be experienced!). Following dinner, we return to Kununurra - quite late but what a fantastic day! OVERNIGHT: The Kimberley Grande, KUNUNURRA DAY 5: Thusday 5th July, 2018 THE ARGYLE DIAMOND MINE This morning we travel to the Argyle Diamond Mine where we meet a guide for a tour of the mine. The Argyle Diamond has put Australia on top as the world s biggest diamond producer. It is Australia s only major diamond mine,

8 that has the extremely rare and valuable pink diamonds, as well as fine whites and intriguing champagne and cognac diamonds. This diamond mine is one of the most technologically advanced mines in the world. After the mine tour and lunch, we meander back to Kununurra with time for a dip in the pool! OVERNIGHT: The Kimberley Grande, KUNUNURRA DAY 6: Friday 6th July, 2018 WYNDHAM & PARRY S LAGOON Today we head up the Great Northern Highway, to Wyndham. One hundred kilometres north of Kununurra, Wyndham is a small frontier town that typifies the character of the Kimberley. Established near the tidal waters of the Cambridge Gulf, the port town is guarded by the thrusting summit of the Bastion Range, towering 1,100 feet above sea level at its highest point. Many people say the 5 Rivers Lookout from the top of the Bastion is one of the finest in Australia! It s here we stop for our morning tea from the coach. In the township of Wyndham, we ll take in the sights including the giant concrete crocodile and the Port area. The Kimberley s oldest town has had a turbulent history of boom and bust that, along with the striking surrounding landscape, has shaped it into a destination more interesting than many may think! We learn about the history of the area when we visit Wyndham Museum. Located in the old Court House, the museum provides an insight into the aviation, shipping, pastoral and meat processing industries of past pioneers. Journal records, photographic displays of times gone by and unique memorabilia amalgamate to form a truly fascinating experience. Make sure you have your camera ready as we drive to our lunch venue. The birdlife will take your breath away as we enjoy lunch at Parry Creek Farm.

9 The farm is located at the Parry Lagoons Nature Reserve, an important waterbird feeding and breeding area. It is also a stopover point for more migratory waders, some of which travel from as far afield as Siberia. As the wet subsides and the billabongs and lagoons shrink to their semipermanent and permanent dry season courses, the barramundi, mullet and tarpon left in the pools provide a year-round food supply for fish eating birds of prey, pelicans and jabirus and the occasional crocodile. Both freshwater and saltwater crocodiles inhabit Parry Lagoons, so stay well back from the water s edge! After our visit, we enjoy a great 360 degree view from the lookout at Telegraph Hill. Be amazed at the number of boab trees on our way in and out from the highway. Returning to Kununurra we ll have some more relaxation time! OVERNIGHT: The Kimberley Grande, KUNUNURRA DAY 7: Saturday 7th July, 2018 KUNUNURRA TO DARWIN We depart Kununurra today but not before some last minute sightseeing. After farewelling our hosts, our first stop this morning is the Mirima National Park, also called Hidden Valley. The small park is just two kilometres out of town. The

10 sandstone formations here resemble the domes of the famous Bungle Bungles (Purnululu National Park), which is why they are sometimes called Mini Bungle Bungles. Returning to town, we have some free time to explore and pick up some last minute souvenirs. Kununurra has several art galleries such as the Artopia Gallery which has a range of works of local artists. If anyone wants to look at diamonds, then once again, Kununurra town centre is the place to be - Kimberley Fine Diamonds has one of Australia's biggest selections of coloured diamonds, including pink diamonds. Those are so rare that most people will probably never see one (as we learnt the other day, the Argyle mine is the only mine in the world that produces them). We then head to the airport where we board our afternoon flight to Darwin. Upon our arrival, we check into our overnight accommodation and enjoy a slightly later dinner. Lunch own arrangements / costs OVERNIGHT: DoubleTree by Hilton Esplanade, DARWIN DAY 8: Sunday 8th July, 2018 DARWIN TO MELBOURNE All good things must come to an end unfortunately and so does our holiday - but we can still have some fun before heading home. This morning we visit Crocosaurus Cove for Breakfast with the Crocs!Located in the heart of the City, it has the largest display of Australian reptiles in the world, a two storey fresh water aquarium, a turtle sanctuary, local NT Aboriginal Art and

11 Cultural displays. We may get to stroke a baby croc as we enjoy our breakfast. We now take our last look around Darwin before heading to Darwin Airport to connect with our flight back to Melbourne. As usual, on our arrival, our chauffeurs will be waiting to transfer us to our front doors to complete a wonderful holiday! Lunch own arrangements / costs We trust you arrive home safely with memories of a fascinating and rewarding tour.
