ITINERARY:
Pre-tour
overnight dorm accommodation in Alice Springs is included
Day 1 -
Alice Springs to Kata Tjuta & Uluru
Your adventure begins atop a camel! Our first stop is the
Outback Camel Farm where you can choose to ride atop one of
these desert giants (at own expense). From here it's off to
Uluru (Ayers Rock), and a bite to eat. Kata Tjuta will fascinate
you, and you will discover some of the secrets of this ancient
landform on the Valley of the Winds hike. You'll be mesmerised
as the desert sun sets over Uluru, and as the night grows
darker, curl up in your swag (Aussie bedroll) under millions
of stars. (LD)
Day 2 -
Uluru to Kings Canyon
It's an early start this morning, but you'll be rewarded with
a glorious Uluru sunrise. Stretch your legs with a walk around
Uluru's base (unguided), or climb to the top if you choose.
You'll deepen your understanding of the land and its stories
at the Cultural Centre. After lunch we travel to our permanent
campsite at Kings Canyon. You'll fall asleep contented with
a delicious camp oven dinner filling your stomach. (BLD)
Day 3 -
Kings Canyon to Alice Springs
Get your hiking shoes on today as we head out to explore the
impressive formations which make up Kings Canyon. You'll be
left breathless by the sheer beauty of the canyon as we trek
through the Amphitheatre, the Lost City, the lush and ancient
Garden of Eden and the North and South Walls. Lunch is a welcome
prospect, before we make our way back to Alice Springs. Overnight
dorm accommodation is included. (BL)
Day 4 -
Alice Springs to Banka Banka
We pass by 23° 26? 22? south of the equator (otherwise known
as the Tropic of Capricorn) before stopping at Ti Tree for
the chance to buy original works of art by Indigenous artists.
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 camp
at Banka Banka Cattle Station and if the weather's good, you
can take a dip in the pretty waterhole. (LD)
Day 5 -
Banka Banka 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 6 -
Katherine Gorge to Darwin
The gorge is all yours this morning, with a half day to spend
canoeing or cruising (at own expense) 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 bite to eat, with stops at idyllic
Edith Falls and the 'croc-filled' Adelaide River (both a town
and a river). Overnight dorm accommodation is included. (BL)
Day 7 -
Darwin to Mary River
A refreshing start to your day: the
waterfalls of Litchfield National Park, followed
by the spectacular Mary River Wetlands. Birds aren't the only
wildlife abundant around here; keep your eyes out for lurking
crocodiles on our private river cruise! A secluded campsite
at Point Stuart Wilderness Lodge is where we'll stay tonight.
(LD)
Day 8 -
Mary River to Kakadu
Discover ancient Aboriginal rock art at Ubirr, our first stop
this morning. Clamber to the top of a rocky lookout for fabulous
views over the Nardab floodplain. Next it's on to Maguk (Barramundi
Gorge), where a hike is rewarded with a reviving swim in the
plunge pools. Tonight we stay at our permanent camp within
Kakadu NP. (BLD)
Day 9 -
Kakadu to Darwin
Get ready for some 4WD action today on our way to Jim Jim
Falls! Once we get there, we'll hike to the base of the falls
before continuing on to Twin Falls. Feel the beauty of the
stunning gorge and powerful falls from the National Park operated
boat and boardwalk experience. The impressive scenery will
continue to amaze you as we journey back to Darwin in the
afternoon. (BL)
