Day 1. Warradjan

Depart
Darwin and travel east into World Heritage-listed Kakadu
National Park.
Covering some 20,000 square kilometres, Kakadu
is Australia’s
largest and arguably most famous national
park. Kakadu’s vast wetlands and ancient escarpment
are home to one of Australia’s largest and most diverse bird populations,
supporting up to one-third of all Australian
bird species. This morning visit the Warradjan
Aboriginal Cultural Centre to gain an insight
into the cultural and historical significance
the park holds for its traditional owners.
Join a guided boat cruise on Yellow Water
billabong, Kakadu’s most famous wetland area.
Keep a look out for saltwater crocodiles,
birds and beautiful waterlilies. After lunch,
travel to Nourlangie Rock art site and view
the ancient galleries of Aboriginal rock art.
The unique x-ray style works record the culture
and evolution of the people over the past
40,000 years.

River
Cruise.
Travel
by 4WD to Ubirr to see superbly preserved
Aboriginal rock art. Located on the Arnhem Land escarpment, Ubirr has been added in its own right to the
World Heritage List because of its anthropological
and archaeological value. Join an Aboriginal

the East Alligator River.

of the flora, fauna, Aboriginal mythology
and history of the region from your guide.
Along the way, with special permission, take

glass of wine while watching the changing
light of day over the floodplains. Return
