Your “welcome aboard” the magnifi cent True North will be amidst the untouched wilderness that surrounds the
Hunter River. Our light aircraft will transfer you from Kununurra to the spectacular Mitchell Plateau. Here you will join
your fi rst fl ight in the air-conditioned/leather seated luxury of our Bell 407 helicopter. The Hunter River is about as ‘far
away’ as you can get in Australia, and your transfer to the True North will be over a stunning river system that is lined
with dense mangrove forests, surrounded by rainforest encrusted mountains and home to man-eating crocodiles.
Once onboard there will be time to settle into your cabin and, to sample the True North’s famous cuisine! Then it’s
back to the business of adventure – and ‘the Hunter’ has it all - fi shing, mud crabbing, bird-watching and simply
exploring “where few have been before!” Join one of our expedition boats, it’s only a short hike to Jackson Falls and
there’s even more splendour from the helicopter! Hopefully we’ll have time for a sunset drink on Naturaliste Island
before introducing you to the delights of True North’s dining saloon! |

Our fi rst stop this morning is one of the Kimberley’s most historic sites – Phillip Parker King’s boab tree. And then it’s
onto the mighty Prince Regent! The scenery will astound and there will be some ‘not to be missed’ fi shing action
as the True North graces this majestic river! At Kings Cascades we manoeuvre the True North right under the falls
before another breathtaking helicopter fl ight to a picnic that you’ll never forget – True North’s mouth-watering
cuisine alongside a crystal clear billabong – in one of the most remote places on earth! The helicopter will also be
popular when the fi rst group of intrepid explorers returns from Jurassic Park! Then we’ll rejoin the True North for an
overnight anchorage off Camp Creek. |

The ‘early risers’ will be treated to a heli flight with a difference – a ‘champagne sunrise’ on the top of a mountain!
Then its time for more ‘adventure in the tender’ – a chance to stretch the laces on your hiking boots and to swim
in yet another picture perfect billabong! The more adventurous will use the helicopter to fi sh ‘billabongs that have
never been fi shed’ and everyone will find their own special part of the mighty Regent! |

This morning is devoted to exploring the Sale River. Fish the mouth for barra and then join naturalists and
adventurers alike as we ‘ride the tide’ on a classic river expedition! Enjoy a swim in your very own billabong before
returning to the ultimate comfort of the True North. You will probably be enjoying lunch as we weigh anchor and
set sail for Montgomery Reef! Montgomery is a unique eco-system that must be seen to be believed – and see it
you will – as 140 square miles of coral reef rises out of the ocean right before your very eyes! Water cascades from
the reef as the tide falls exposing a privileged glimpse of another world! Turtles, dugong, manta rays and every
imaginable sea creature abound and the helicopter puts all in perspective! |

Start the day with some more ‘hot fi shing action’ – this time at “Three Ways”. Then enjoy a refreshing swim at Ruby
Falls – the ladies will not be able to resist our ‘a la natural mud pack and day spa special’! After lunch the wellpreserved
Wandjina paintings of Raft Point are sure to intrigue! |

6 |
It’s time to ‘personally’ introduce you to another Kimberley icon – The Horizontal Falls. Experience the awesome
power of the region’s huge tidal range in an exhilarating tender ride and then climb aboard your air-conditioned
helicopter for a view of the falls that very few experience! Enjoy a swim at Crocodile Creek and a walk on Silica Beach.
All too soon your adventure on the True North is coming to an end – enjoy a farewell dinner to remember as the
True North glides past Cockatoo & Koolan Islands, Cape Leveque and down the Dampier Peninsular to Broome! |

Our arrival in Broome is in time for an early morning coach transfer to your accommodation or connecting flights
