"Join the Share Bus 12 day Darwin to Broome trip, watch out for crocodiles, relax in the beautiful gorges & waterfalls, all at your own pace & budget!
We’re not a tour, you share the rental of our bus, trailer & equipment with other adventurous ..."
Start your trip by exploring some great National Parks in the Northern Territory. Here you can check out famous gorges, waterfalls, Aboriginal art and see some crocs and swimming holes (but not at the same time!). Then you’ll make your way south, stopping off at hot springs and beautiful hiking tracks. Afterwards, you’ll turn westwards, crossing the border into WA.
At this point you’ll get to travel back in time, allowing more hours to explore the awesome Lake Argyle. Hire a kayak to explore the lake, go swimming, or relax at the infinity pool overlooking the lake.
Next, take the highway from Kununurra towards Broome. There are some cool camps and a gorge to check out along the way.
Then make your way into Broome in time to watch a sunset on the 22.5km long Cable Beach, as camels pass in front. Expect to get fit with lots of hiking, snorkelling and exercise as you appreciate the natural sights. This is a no-frills adventure – you’ll be setting up your own tents, cooking your own dinner and sharing your tent with another person. The target age group is 18-35.
