The first question to ask is why would 14 people want to travel under canvas over red dirt, dusty corrugated roads, and to some very remote places, for 12 days with two guides and and all virtually unknown to each other?

The answers could include:

• For the challenge
• To get away from it all
• To enjoy a holiday in a unique and exciting way
• Or simply to see and experience parts of Australia we have never seen before.

The next questions include:

• What will the rest of the group be like?
• What will the guides be like?
• What if I don’t fit in?

What will the next twelve days be like?  The bus picked us up at each individual’s place of accommodation and each exchanged a nervous “Hello”, “ Welcome Aboard” and polite smiles. The trip was about to begin and little were we to know what the next 12 days would bring.

It brought much laughter and exchange of banter, much enjoyment and amazement, and the most wonderful trip possible because of the bonding and togetherness of all those on board.

Our guides and our friends, Phil and Liz, both worked so hard to cater for our needs, serving up delicious meals to keep us all happy and giving us the low down each night by the campfire to ensure each day was as good, or better, than we hoped for. Phil and Liz both drove with much skill and kept us informed about the Kimberley and its history. They were always so kind, helpful and calming.

We could not have ask for better leaders and we are very grateful for all that they did.

We all have grown heaps after bonding together and have enjoyed every moment of seeing our beautiful country, so unique and amazing. We have enjoyed the campfires, the stories, and much laughter. We have enjoyed each other’s company and our different ways of life.

As our journey has ended I thank each and every one of you for being a friend and allowing me the privilege of sharing 12 special days, from Broome to Broome with Adventure Wild.

I could very happily do it all again and hopefully will.
