Day 1: Alice Springs to Tennant Creek
We pass by the Tropic of Capricorn then stop at the Barrow
Creek Pub. Learn about the early struggles of bush telecommunications
at Barrow Creek's historic Telegraph Station - it'll make
your mobile phone seem like the space age! 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. (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. The
tiny town is also home to Australia's first international
airport (but you wouldn't guess it!). 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 a half day to spend
canoeing or cruising (at own expense & 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. (BL) Dinner and accommodation is at own expense.
Day 4:
Darwin
A free day to explore or chill out (accommodation, meals and
activities at own expense).
Day 5:
Darwin to Mary River & 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 6:
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 7: 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)
