Season Program
(From May/June to November - depending on seasonal conditions
and park access)
Day 1 - Darwin to Mary
River
A refreshing start to your
day; the waterfalls of Litchfield National Park. Then
we travel west into Woolna Country where we receive a Cul
Cul or unique 'Welcome to Country' by the traditional owners
of the land, the Limilngan - Wulna people. This is followed
by lessons in bush tucker, didgeridoo playing, basket weaving
and spear throwing. To finish the day we head to the spectacular
Corroboree Billabong on Mary River Wetlands. Birds aren't
the only wildlife abundant around here; keep a watch for lurking
crocodiles on our private river cruise! A secluded
campsite at Point Stuart Wilderness Lodge is where we'll
stay tonight. (LD)
Day 2 - Mary River to Kakadu
Discover ancient Aboriginal
rock art at Ubirr, our first stop this morning. Clamber
to the top of a rocky lookout for fabulous views over the
Nardab floodplain. Next it's on to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge),
where a hike is rewarded with a reviving swim in the plunge
pools. Tonight we stay at our permanent camp within Kakadu
NP. (BLD)
Day 3 - Kakadu National
Park
Get ready for some 4WD action
today on our way to Jim Jim Falls! Once we get there,
we'll hike to the base of the falls before continuing on to
Twin Falls. Feel the beauty of the stunning gorge and
powerful falls from the National Park operated boat and boardwalk
experience. We get to our campsite at Gunlom just in time
to see the vibrant colours of the tropical sunset take over
the evening sky. (BLD)
Day 4 - Kakadu to Katherine
Gorge
Climb to the top of Gunlom
Falls this morning and you'll be rewarded with stunning
views from the top! Cool down with a refreshing dip at Edith
Falls. Tonight we'll be camping at our permanent campsite
near Katherine Gorge. (BLD)
Day 5 - Katherine Gorge
to Darwin
Paddle or cruise (at own expense)
through Katherine Gorge this morning. Want to see more?
Jump aboard a helicopter flight (at own expense) which will
take you high above the vast gorge system. There are more
chances to get wet this afternoon! Chill out in the thermal
waters of Katherine Hot Springs (seasonal) before we
get you back to Darwin. (BL)
