Broome - Darwin small group history and cultural tour.
There is a curiosity for travellers, about the North West quadrant of Australia. A region of Australia that is closer to Singapore than Sydney or Melbourne this is a fascinating part of Australia. It is where the story of Australia first nations people journey begins more than 60,000 years ago possibly via extended land bridges that have appeared and disappeared. A coast where by the mid 13-14th century after splendid isolation to allow a culture to evolve, that traded along migration paths, following songlines, intermarried according to totems and left a visual record in repetitive rock art for other people to learn and follow. Sometime after the 11th century people from the other places arrived as shown in the rock art record, exchanges and trading commenced on a seasonal basis. Then the Europeans, dominated by the Portuguese, then the Spanish, the French and the British (and probably the Chinese) crashed into the reefs along the Western edge of the continent in the race for spice. The first nation people continued to live here and it is this history, and then English settlement in the 18th century onwards that provides the cultural road map we follow, with the landscape possibly little changed across the centuries.
This program is offered as either from Broome to Darwin or the reverse. The 20 day by day itinerary tracks from Broome to Darwin. This is a detailed exploration of the region, that excludes the Gibb river road region of the Kimberley which is typically not open at this time of the year.
A journey of constant change
Your journey whether Broome to Darwin and onto the Tiwi islands will take us through Australia's most ancient and spectacular country. We explore untouched areas; a land of vibrant colours, spectacular rock formations and the last bastion for many animal species and plant species, there is time to ponder about the changing seasons, just how the Boab tree arrived here and the Macassan story.
Australia's Northwest is a land of extraordinary contrasts where the rocky red landscapes of the outback meet the bright turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. It is a journey for many whether an Australian or guest exploring it is often a journey made once. For this reason, we have sought to provide over your time with us access to country that leaves great memories and a greater understanding of Aboriginal culture and the outback environment that defines not only the Kimberley, but outback Australia and the tropics.
This program explores the region as it transitions from the wet season to the dry season. The group takes sealed roads only, except for the section to El Questro.
A small group tour limited to 10 people only in early April, during the green season before the main touring season commences in the Kimberley.

This is an Aboriginal owned enterprise and has more than 100 artist members that practice art in a wide range of styles and mediums. Artists attend the centre daily to paint and express stories of history, people, the country and cultural connection.
Bonnie Deegan, LuLu Trancollino, Janet Dreamer, Maureen Deegan, Barry Demi, Nathan Thomas, Rosie Lala, Deirdre Butters, Judith Butters, Shirley and Magda Yoomarie, Dallas Fletcher are just a few of many artists that practice regularly. The car bonnet collection is worth visiting alone.
We also spend part of the day heading out to the oasis Palm springs. It is a famed ‘oasis in the desert’. There are striking rock wall reflections and abundant local wildlife dependent on this water source.
Afghan teamsters are thought to have planted the original date palms found at Palm Springs. They played a prominent role in the early days of Halls Creek. Afghan man Sam Hazlett and his Aboriginal wife Duddru lived at Palm Springs for many years. Sam used the springs for drinking water and to grow vegetables, which he sold in Halls Creek.
An old Aboriginal man called Wellman lived at Palm Springs and worked in the gardens with Sam. He was known as ‘Wellman’ because he was the man who got the water from the well. Wellman Road in the Garden Area of Halls Creek is named in his honour.

The centre was established in 1998 by the late founding members of the contemporary painting movement in Warmun such as Rover Thomas, Queenie McKenzie, Madigan Thomas and Hector Jandany. These elders recognised and responded to the need for a community owned and controlled centre through which they could support, maintain and promote Gija art, language and culture.
We also pass the Argyle diamond mine, an exploration success story in recent history, contrasted with the Durack family and the long drive east to west with their cattle. Though as you will learn the Durack name remains today.

Darwin: Origin of a City
A crocodile pulls a sleeping man into the river by one leg. Another breaks the neck of a swimming policeman. An out-of-luck miner drowns himself in the town's well.
Once called Palmerston, the City of Darwin began in the 1870s. Darwin was a pioneer's paradise: sometimes as exciting as it was dull, full of potential but, too often, dangerous. Not everyone survived.
The first settlers arrived in January 1870 to find very little other than surveyed blocks of bushland sold to distant investors. It was a colony made from scratch, with little tangible reason for its existence until the Overgrand Telegraph Line came through from London and joined Australia to the rest of the world. Then goldl was discovered and hopeful miners rushed north from all over the country. Most went home disappointed, but only if they survived the privations of the bush and the distraction of the pubs. The government brought in Chinese 'Coolie' workers - and they kept coming, gold dust shining in their eyes - until, by the end of the decade, there were ten times as many Chinese as European settlers, and Chinatown was the most vibrant part of the settlement.
Known as Palmerston until it was renamed in 1911, Pugh brings the early colony to life once again through this delightful and colourful account of Darwin's fascinating, unique early history, and the extraordinary characters who pioneered the settlement of the north.
With a foreword by Her Honour the Honourable Vicki O'Halloran AO, the 22nd Administrator of the Northern Territory.

The story of Jandamarra - legendary Aboriginal 'freedom fighter'.

Special Mention, Individual Category, Centre for Australian Cultural Studies National Awards 1997
Shortlisted, Children's and Young Adults Award, Western Australian Premier's Book Awards 1997
Jandamarra - hero or criminal?
One hundred years ago, Jandamarra led his people against the white occupation of Bunuba lands. At 21 he organised his first ambush, and by the age of 24 he was dead. To his people he was a hero, to the whites a dangerous 'baddie' who must be captured at any cost.
Kimberley Warrior is a gripping frontier story set in the rocky mountain ranges, gorges and tunnels of the Kimberley region in Western Australia. It is also the story of a complex, gifted person caught between two worlds, black and white.
This retelling of Jandamarra's story is authorised by the Bunuba people.

AmazonThe Lost World of the Kimberley
Australia's Kimberley was the cultural hub of the Ice Age world. Today, it holds within its bounds the world's largest collection of Ice Age figurative art, giving us vital clues to the origins of other cultures and civilisations right across the world.
Back at a time when most of Europe lay deep beneath ice sheets, a people in the remote and rugged Kimberley Ranges of north-west Australia created figurative paintings of such verve and talent that they surpass all other of the world's rock art.
Known as 'Bradshaws', after pioneer farmer Joseph Bradshaw who chanced upon the first examples in 1891, the Kimberley paintings feature lithe, graceful human figures depicted in a fashion altogether different from that of even the oldest traditional art, providing extraordinary visual insights into the everyday lives of Ice Age people.
So who were these Bradshaw people? When did they live? What happened to them?
Ian Wilson describes the early research on the Bradshaw paintings, and explains how advanced dating techniques have shed new light on the findings. He explores the theories put forward on for the origins of these seafaring people; one possibility is that they arrived from the Andaman Islands, where pygmy-like tribes still survive. Farther afield still the author draws connections with Saharan peoples, and he even unearths startling similarities with South American tribes.
Lost World of the Kimberley is a wide-ranging and provocative look at the very Australian, yet also potentially international, mystery of the Bradshaw paintings of the Kimberley one of Australia's least known, yet most extraordinary, national treasures.

AmazonWorld Heritage Sites of Australia
Peter Valentine presents Australia’s 19 World Heritage sites in a magnificent tribute to natural and cultural history. The outstanding qualities of each site are described and illustrated in exquisite detail, along with an account of how the site came to be on the World Heritage List. In many cases, the path towards listing was not straightforward, with the Australian Government having to exercise its constitutional powers against other parties with vested interests in using sites for other purposes, including forestry and mining.
Rainforests that show the connections of the ancient super continent Gondwana. Rock art that points to a history of human settlement reaching over 60,000 years into the past.Sandstone remnants of eighty years of convict labour and imprisonment. A marvel of twentieth-century architecture. This is Australia’s world heritage.
In a thoughtful foreword, former minister for the environment, heritage and the arts and Midnight Oil lead singer Peter Garrett describes his own experience of these wonders and concern for their continued existence.
