Day 1 - Alice Springs to Tennant Creek
We pass by the Tropic of Capricorn then stop at the Barrow
Creek Pub, home to a telegraph station - catch a glimpse
of what outback telecommunication used to be like! Precariously
balanced on their rocky perch are the Devils Marbles,
a site sacred to its traditional owners. Last stop for today
is our private campsite near Tennant Creek where we stay tonight.
(LD)
Day 2 -
Tennant Creek to Katherine Gorge
No visit to the Top End would be complete without a visit
to the famed Daly Waters pub, a quintessential outback
roadhouse and 'watering hole' for travellers from far and
wide. Mataranka lies in the heart of the 'never-never',
and you'll feel a million miles from anywhere as you soak
in the steamy thermal springs. As the day draws to a close,
we reach our overnight camp at stunning Katherine Gorge. (BLD)
Day 3 -
Katherine Gorge to Darwin
The gorge is all yours this morning, with time to spend canoeing
or cruising (at own expense and seasonal) the spectacular
waters. Want to see more? Jump aboard a helicopter flight
(at own expense) which will take you high above the vast gorge
system. We'll head to Darwin after a stop at idyllic Edith
Falls. Overnight dorm accommodation in Darwin included.
(BL)
Day 4 -
Darwin to Mary River
A refreshing start to your day checking out the waterfalls
of Litchfield National Park. Travel west into Woolna
Country and receive a Cul Cul or unique 'Welcome to Country'
by the traditional owners of the land the Limilngan - Wulna
people. Experience the local Aboriginal Culture, cooking
your own bush tucker, playing the didgeridoo, basket weaving
and spear throwing. To finish the day we head to the spectacular
Mary River Wetlands, where birds aren't the only wildlife
abundant around here; keep your eyes out for lurking crocodiles
on our private river cruise! A secluded campsite at
Point Stuart Wilderness Lodge is where we'll stay tonight.
(LD)
Day 5 -
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 6 -
Kakadu to Darwin
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. The impressive
scenery will continue to amaze you as we journey back to Darwin
in the afternoon. (BL)
