Day 1: Darwin to Mary River and Kakadu National Park
First we're off to the Mary River wetlands system, with
the highest concentration of saltwater crocodiles in the southern
hemisphere. We arrive in Woolna Country and you will receive
a Cul Cul (welcome) from the traditional owners of the land,
the Limilngan - Wulna people. Experience the local Aboriginal
culture including cooking bush tucker, playing the didgeridoo,
basket weaving and spear throwing. Get close (but not too
close!) to 'salties' and other wild creatures on a private
billabong cruise. We arrive at history rich Ubirr in time
for sunset. You will see vivid Aboriginal rock art that dates
back over 20,000 years. Then we head to our overnight bush
camp in Kakadu. (LD)
Day 2: Kakadu
National Park
It's an early one this morning as we travel to Twin Falls.
The spectacular gorge is experienced onboard a national park
operated boat and along the boardwalk. Unwind and relax for
a bit on the sandy banks before we head deep into the escarpment
country to the awesome Jim Jim Falls. It's a challenging climb
to the top of the falls (either Jim Jim or Twin Falls - seasonal)
but it's worth it for the sensational views over Kakadu. You'll
be asleep in no time once we reach our overnight bush camp
in Kakadu! (BLD)
Day 3:
Kakadu to Darwin
We start the day with a hike to Maguk (Barramundi Falls) and
cool of with a dip in the plunge pools. Then take the 4WD
Old Darwin Road (seasonal), stopping to admire the abundant
birdlife at White Lily floodplains before continuing on to
Darwin. (BL) Dinner and accommodation at own expense.
Day 4:
Darwin
A free day to explore or relax in Darwin (activities, meals
and accommodation at own expense).
Day 5: Darwin
to Katherine Gorge
Leaving Darwin, we stop for a break at Adelaide River
on the way to Katherine. We spend the whole afternoon at the
majestic Katherine Gorge (Nitmiluk), which is part of the
Nitmiluk National Park. Experience the striking beauty while
canoeing or cruising (at own expense & seasonal) through the
gorge itself. Want to see more? Jump aboard a helicopter flight
(at own expense) which will take you high above the vast gorge
system. Tonight we stay at our permanent camp near Katherine
Gorge. (LD)
Day 6: Katherine
Gorge to Tennant Creek
Not far to the south is Mataranka, where you can revive in
a sparkling thermal pool surrounded by lush tropical forest.
Next stop is the iconic Daly Waters outback hotel, the Territory's
oldest pub. Nearby lies Australia's first international airport,
but you won't get a flight back home from here these days!
After lunch, we continue south to Tennant Creek where we overnight
at our private campsite. (BLD)
Day 7: Tennant
Creek to Alice Springs
This morning we check out the sacred site of the Devils
Marbles, which balance precariously on their rocky perch.
From here we stop in at Barrow Creek Pub, home to the historic
Telegraph Station - catch a glimpse of what Outback telecommunication
used to be like! We cross over the Tropic of Capricorn, before
arriving early evening into Alice Springs. (BL)
