Day Kakadu Highlights

Start and returning to Darwin
|
|
The
world heritage listed Kakadu National Park lies
east of Darwin and is a very special place. Discover
within its boundaries an entire river with all
the associated ecosystems and experience an ancient
culture up to 40,000 years old. Anytime is a good
time to visit. Apr-May finds the country side
still fresh from recent rains and alive with growth.
Jun-Sep brings clear blue skies, access to most
areas as rivers recede and the coolest months
to visit. Oct-Dec is the hottest time and is the
best time for wildlife watching. Jan-Mar sees
the most rainfall but to see the landscape come
alive with waterfalls and the spectacular lightning
storms on the horizon is a once in a lifetime
opportunity.

ITINERARY:
Day 1:
Yellow Waters
Wetlands
Turning off the Stuart
Highway, we travel along the Arnhem Highway passing the major
river systems and wetland regions into Kakadu National Park.
After crossing the South Alligator River we begin to explore
the World Heritage Area of Ubirr Rock where we climb up through
the ancient Aboriginal rock art galleries to the lookout for
the famous view over surrounding wetlands. We then visit the
Bowali Centre with informative displays, and continue to Cooinda
to join Kakadus fabled Yellow Waters Wetland Cruise to experience
the beauty of the Kakadu wetlands.
Tented Option Tour -
Overnight Cooinda at our permanent safari camp on the grounds
of the Lodge (LUNCH)
Hotel Option Tour - Overnight Cooinda at the Gagudju
Lodge Cooinda (LUNCH)
Day 2:
Nourlangie Rock
Todays highlights include a fascinating visit with Aboriginal
traditional land owners from the East Alligator region of
Kakadu, at the Kakadu Culture Camp, spectacular views and
pristine freshwater environs. After a short drive from Cooinda
to Djarradjin Billabong, meet our hosts and transfer by boat
across the beautiful billabong to a secluded bush site, and
enjoy learning about the traditional Aboriginal way of life.
Hear intriguing stories about Aboriginal history, the language
and the interpretation of the seasonal cycles of the bush.
Learn a few secrets of the sources and preparation of bush
tucker and perhaps have a try at throwing a hunting spear.
Later in the day, we venture off the beaten track to Barramundi
Gorge, where a 2km return walk through paperbark forest
leads to a small waterfall and clear plunge pool with the
opportunity to swim. This walk is graded moderate with difficult
areas requiring some agility in rougher parts of the track.
Late afternoon we make our
way out of Kakadu National Park, viewing Jabiru Township and
pausing for an evening snack (own expense) at the Bark Hut
Inn. Arrive Darwin mid evening.
(CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST, LUNCH)
