TOUR SYNOPSIS:
Be inspired by the Pilbara’s links to the world’s oldest continuous living culture. Join our fabulous tour to this remote region to see the contrast of old and new. With some of the world’s ancient natural landscapes dating back three billion years and stretching over 500,000 square kilometres, the Pilbara is the awakening giant of Western Australia’s north. Travel from Karratha to Broome via Exmouth, Tom Price, Newman and Port Hedland, through unique communities of the rugged outback. See national parks and an iron ore mine and visit a number of traditional cattle stations, as well as advanced grazing properties that have increased production and carrying capacity through the introduction of irrigation, performance grasses and different breeds of cattle. Spend a day at Exmouth – the gateway to the Ningaloo Marine Park – and finally relax in beautiful Broome with its rich history in pearling where you can reflect and unwind watching the sun set over the Indian Ocean.
