9 Day Broome to Perth Adventure Tour
Tour itinerary - 9 Days

• Day 1 Broome to Pilbara Bush Camp
  Departing Broome nice and early we push South from Broome. Today’s job is to get some distance under our belt to make the following days easy, we stop at 80 Mile Beach for a refreshing swim in a crystal blue water and then get on a network of bush tracks which eventually take us into the heart of the Pilbara.
  The Pilbara region includes beautiful landscapes of coastal plains and mountain ranges with cliffs and gorges and is particularly known for its iron-ore deposits. Quickly take a photo standing on one of the oldest railway lines in Western Australia!
  The reason we have chosen to use an off-road vehicle as opposed to a bus becomes clear as we take on the dirt roads and access a beautiful remote bush camp in a remote outback a river setting, often voted as favourite camp we normally get in nice and early, crank up the campfire and cook up a traditional Aussie roast in the camp oven.
