8. "The Kimberely" Tour

The Kimberely is a wilderness region in the NW corner of Australia covering 160-165 K sq miles. Although roughly the size of California, it boasts a population of 40,000, half of which are indigenous. 4 people per sq mile? Sweet.

Because this area is rugged and remote with limited internet connectivity, minimal services (except for strategically placed high-end glamping resorts) and few paved roads, we decided to take a guided tour through this region. Our 10 day tour has us travelling by overlanding truck (short for rugged vehicle with limited shock absorbers), camping under the stars (short for sleeping with no mattress and no a/c in hot humid conditions) and engaging in the "participatory" nature of the tour (short for helping with cooking and cleaning).

All tongue in cheek. Truthfully, I love this style of travel and have expectations of an unforgettable experience.

Off we go with limited connectivity. Will catch up on posts when I can.Read more
