Day 1
We head to the Adelaide River for a one hour boat cruise
to watch large saltwater crocodiles leap out of the
water up to half their body length. Awesome! Upon entering
Kakadu National Park we stop at the Bowali Visitor Centre
which contains a wealth of information about the flora,
fauna, culture, management and history of Kakadu National
Park. We visit Nourlangie Rock, one of the most famous
rock art and cultural sites in the world, and Narwurlandja
lookout where you can enjoy magnificent views over Kakadu
and across to the Arnhem Land Escarpment.
(LD)
Camp: Permanent Campsite within Kakadu (Toilets/Showers
available)
Day 2
Today we "get away from the crowds" with plenty
of hiking, exploring and swimming. These walks encompass
Kurrundie Falls, Motorcar Falls, Boulder Creek and Gunlom
(when accessible). We hold a Special Permit to a restricted
area called Moline Rockhole which has picturesque cascades
that descend to a waterfall with a clear plunge pool
at the base.
(BLD)
Camp: Permanent Campsite
within Kakadu (Toilets/Showers available)
Day 3
Today we head back north through Kakadu stopping to
view various displays on Kakadu and learn about the
local Aboriginal people. From here we make our way to
Gubara where we'll take a 6km return walk past sandstone
cliffs and onto shady monsoon rainforest pools with
small cascading waterfalls. Our final destination before
heading back to Darwin is Ubirr Rock (subject to accessibility),
arguably Kakadu's best Aboriginal rock art site. If
Ubirr Rock is inaccessible we visit Nanguluwar art site
which depicts a variety of art styles including the
first European contact.
