Day

– From Drysdale Station, we
take a 2 hour scenic flight viewing Mt Hann, Deep Gorge and the
Rift, then over the magnificent Prince Regent Nature Reserve. We
follow the Prince Regent River, fly over numerous unnamed
waterfalls, King Cascades, St George Basin, Mt Trafalgar, Prince
Frederick Harbour, the Hunter River, Donkins Hill Falls and the
spectacular Mitchell Falls. The vast beautiful unspoilt
coastline of the wilderness nature reserve is always a heart
winner. You may even be lucky enough see crocodiles, dugong and
whales. This is a flight over the most remote wilderness area in
the world. This is the best way to see this country from the
air, the rugged landscape with untouched coastline and tumbling
waterfalls will stay in your memory forever. On return we travel
south on the Gibb River Rd to cool off at Barnett River Gorge,
cross the Gibb and Manning Rivers to Mt Barnett. Enjoy a swim of

overnight stop. You can join Mornington’s Naturalist Guide for a
complimentary talk/slideshow for an insight into the work of the
Australian Wildlife Conservancy and the unique values of
Mornington Wildlife Sanctuary. Also, browse the Interpretive
centre displays and find information on research and
conservation activities at Mornington. A good selection of
reference and ID books are also available. BLD

Day 6 – Enjoy an easy
access early morning walk along Annie Creek if you choose,
before our spectacular 4WD journey to either nearby gorge.
Dimond Gorge is beautiful. Majestic geological formations area a
highlight and the view from the

lookout at Dimond Gorge is very special. The drive to Sir John
Gorge takes you through undulating savannah formed over the
millennia from the erosion of the Leopold Sandstones and the
breakdown of volcanic ridges. It is a 1 hour drive (14km). The
destinations itself is a massive thoroughfare of the Fitzroy
River that started to carve its way through the sandstone while
life on earth was still in its infancy. Mornington Sanctuary
covers more than 3,000 km2 of spectacular gorges and tropical
savannah dominated by the Fitzroy River and King Leopold Ranges.
