Darwin provides a fitting starting point.

Markets, museums, tropical gardens and harbour sunsets have helped shape a city that feels distinctly different from anywhere else in Australia.

The route west is the real attraction. Travelling through Katherine and into the Kimberley, the journey showcases rugged landscapes, remote communities and some of the most dramatic scenery in northern Australia. This is a part of the country where the distances are vast and the changing colours of the landscape become part of the experience. The bus from Darwin to Broome offers a rare opportunity to experience the scale of northern Australia from ground level , taking in country that many travellers only ever see from the air.

Broome delivers a spectacular finish. Famous for Cable Beach, camel rides at sunset and the striking contrast between red cliffs and turquoise waters, the town has become one of Western Australia’s most iconic destinations. Visitors can learn about the region’s pearling history , explore Gantheaume Point or witness the famous Staircase to the Moon phenomenon during the right time of year. The Darwin to Broome route connects two destinations that are equally famous for their tropical character while showcasing one of Australia’s great wilderness regions in between.
