Adventure Travel Book Submission – Faraway Bay, The Bush Camp, Western Australia
Category 32 and 33
Suggested Titles:
– Experience an Aussie Outback Adventure
– Experience one of the most remote places on earth
– Travel through untouched wilderness in the Australia outback
Submission
In the remote East Kimberley region of Western Australia is a unique wilderness retreat so deliciously isolated you won’t find it on any map.
Perched on a cliff top over looking the Timor Sea is Faraway Bay, The Bush Camp, an intimate escape that feels like the edge of forever.
On offer is a rare Kimberley wilderness encounter, remarkable beauty, isolation and history – all set in a remote slice of outback Australia.
The Kimberley region is one of the last true wilderness areas on earth. Here, in Australia’s heartland, it is still possible to walk where no one has been before.
This 420,000 square kilometre tract of ancient red-rock landscape is three times the size of England – and mostly uninhabited.
Worn away over thousands of years by the torrential rains of the wet season, the sandstone ranges have formed beautiful gorges, permanent waterholes and stunning waterfalls.
Amidst it all is Faraway Bay, only accessible by air and boat.
Catering for a maximum for 12 guests at a time, all eight secluded cabins have spectacular views of Faraway Bay.
Meals are served in the open air ‘Eagle Lodge’, perfect for lounging, dining and daydreaming.
There’s a myriad of natural attractions on offer including untouched ancient rock art sites including the mysterious ‘Bradshaws’ dating back 22,000 years.
Daytime activities are as strenuous or leisurely as guests’ needs dictate.
There are rock pools and waterfalls to visit; secret fishing spots to discover on board the 13 metre cruiser Diamond Lass; crocodiles and dingoes to spot.
While the wildlife is prolific, the neighbours are not. With a maximum of twelve guests at any time privacy is ensured.
History
Pioneering hosts Bruce and Robyn Ellison discovered the stunning site in 1986 while on an outback driving adventure. They made their way 660km by four-wheel drive along rough dirt tracks after hearing about the area’s incredible fishing and views.
Six years later, the Ellisons were granted a lease over an area of virgin bush and in 1997 their plans were realised with the opening of Faraway Bay, The Bush Camp.
In early 2005 the camp was devastated by Cyclone Ingrid’s 280km per hour winds. With true bush determination and overwhelming volunteer support from passionate past guests and Kununurra residents, labouring in over 40° Celsius degree heat, the camp was rebuilt in just a month and opened improved and refreshed.
Throughout its 11 year history the property has been applauded through multiple prestigious state and national awards.

Real Story Experience from AMARITA clients
We had a wonderful and very well organized time in Cambodia. Everyone is still talking non-stop about our visit to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Angkor Wat is amazing place we ever visit. It is un-credible object that emerges in the middle of forest with a huge and high archeological building which astonishes us and we can not tell how it was built. We were touched deeply by its beautiful sculptures/art work. Along our visit, your tour guide told us very interest and scaring stories after stories that carved on the sand-stone wall of Angkor Thom temple. More interested is during visiting to flooding village, a group of children were playing on the water by sitting on small plastic containers and skillfully propelling around with small piece of wood. Each children own small boat or small plastic container for traveling to school built on water. Your people is very friendly and humble esp. children who are sell souvenir stuff; they can speak very good English, Japanese and even they don’t know how to write it. We cannot thank you enough for your excellent organization skills and dear friendship you shared with us while we were there. Thank you, thank you, thank you to ALL AMARITA TEAM.

Trek Alaska
PO Box 771862
Eagle River, AK 99577
So here we are, smack in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness, miles and miles from anywhere. We stand on the shores of the Kotsina River and watch the silt-loaded current rumble past like a runaway freight train on a downhill grade.
I had scouted out this spot last night as the best place to make a crossing, but I can see that my crew is looking a bit skeptical, and more than a little nervous. There are lots of anxious looks and questions like “uuuuh… this is safe, right?â€
“Yeah no sweat, this will be fun. I’ve done lots worse than this!†I reply as I think to myself “I hope.â€
This is going to be a wet one with water at mid-thigh and splashing higher. So we strip down to our skivvies and put the boots back on. When everyone is ready to go we take our positions in the group formation and shuffle over to the edge of the current.
It looks cold – really cold. It is after all, being fed by meltwater from a glacier just a few miles away. Okay, don’t let em think about it too much, let’s do it.
“Okay guys remember, communication is important but screaming “oh my god it’s freezing is not useful communication, okay? Okay. One last thing, be aggressive, don’t be timidâ€
And I let rip the loudest, howlingest growl I can muster. They all join in.
We’re ready. Moving slowly we edge into the water.
“Oh my god it’s freeing†I scream.
But everyone is too busy trying to get good footing on the rocks and catch their breath to appreciate my attempts at humor.
We reach the main channel of the current. Whoa. It’s getting pretty aggressive. Hang on tight folks.
“Wait, wait. Oh god, oh boy. wait†– gasps from the team.
“Hang on guys, be tough, be strong, be strong! We can do this!â€
The current is getting really powerful and the water is hitting mid to upper thigh level… on the tall people.
We’re almost through the deepest channel but the crowd is getting edgy and it’s time to break out the big guns.
“RRRRRAAAAAAAAA†I roar and they all roar with me.
Moments later we scramble out of the water – wet and numb.
Rick gives me a big hug and says “Thank you, thank you†through chattering teeth.
This is true adventure, not an artificial, pre-packaged experience. A nine day trek through untracked Alaskan wilderness – no trails, no porters, no huts, no one to rely upon but ourselves.
In the course of that time the group will meet the challenges of rugged glacier crossings, steep climbs up high passes, serious bushwhacking, route finding and of course difficult stream crossings. By the end they will know what it means to encounter some of the last great wilderness on the planet – on its own terms.
But for now we have to get some dry clothes on try to warm up.
We are just a short distance from hotel snow crest inn residence of his holiness the 14th dalai lama
