Rose & Geoff Bowen

We had been to Broome about 6 years before.. we drove.. ourselves.. nearly insane.. we went via Marble Bar and back down the coast but never saw any of the magnificent country of the Kimberly. We were restricted where we could go with our rickety caravan and although it did hold together surprisingly well over the corrugations, it was frankly a pain in the backside and not much of a break from the cooking and driving side of life and we didn’t see much other than the road straight ahead.

We had never done an organised trip before and I was not sure how we would go with someone else doing all the organising.. farmers tend to be very self sufficient and do everything themselves… I am converted.. it was bliss. The scenery was to die for, the organization perfect, the balance between relaxing and ‘adventuring’ was just right for our age group and the company wonderful. The knowledge of Gools and Thommo was par excellence, be it birds, plants or local culture, as were Thommo’s gentle stories that made us think about history and cultural differences.

So not only did we see and hear.. we also thought and started to understand a bit more about what makes Australia what it is.

So back home to the animals and routine and meetings.. but I am pretty good about relaxing and going to bed early and getting up early.. and appreciating the sunrises and sunsets and the glass of wine.. ahhhh.

Thank you Adventure Wild.
