Explosion Gorge and Branko's Lookout

Wind along the Elgee Cliffs escarpment in your 4WD for the vastness that awaits while keeping a lookout for crocodiles that might be basking on the riverbanks and Black-footed Rock-wallabies might dart across the path.

Completing your 4WD journey at Explosion Gorge, it's time to tackle the final leg. Ascend to the summit to Branko's Lookout. Here, you will be awestruck by the panoramic vista that unfolds before you, showcasing the entire Chamberlain Gorge system snaking through the red earth.

While day time offers a great view of the Pentecost River, the real magic happens as the sun dips below the horizon. The sky explodes fiery oranges, deep purples, and streaks of vibrant pink. The changing light dances on the cliffs of Explosion Gorge, creating an unforgettable spectacle.

As you sip on a refreshing drink (included in most tours) and soak in the view, you'll feel a deep sense of peace and wonder. This is the Kimberley at its finest – raw, untamed, and breathtakingly beautiful.

A trip to Explosion Gorge and Branko's Lookout is more than just a scenic drive; it's an experience that will stay with you long after you leave the Kimberley. It's a chance to connect with nature's raw beauty, witness a breath-taking sunset, and create memories that will last a lifetime. So, are you ready for your own Kimberley explosion?

​Note – This requires 4WD experience as you will conduct river crossings, drive on steep slopes, and on loose gravel. If you feel like you do not have the skill level, a tour is an appropriate alternative to enjoy this area hassle free.​
