ITINERARY:
Pre-tour
overnight dorm accommodation in Alice Springs is included
Day 1 -
Alice Springs to Kata Tjuta & Uluru
Our first stop is the Outback Camel Farm where you can see
the world from the top of a camel if you choose to take a
ride (at own expense). Next it's to Uluru, in the heart of
the Red Centre. After lunch, we explore fascinating Kata Tjuta
(the Olgas) on a guided interpretive walk through the Valley
of the Winds. We make it back to camp in time for an enthralling
desert sunset over Uluru. After dinner, curl up in your swag
(Aussie bedroll) and watch the stars come out to play in the
darkening sky. (LD)
Day 2 -
Uluru to Kings Canyon
Sunrise over Uluru is magical! It's an early start to catch
it. While the morning's fresh (and your legs are too!) take
a walk around Uluru's base (unguided), or climb to the top
if you choose - however, the Anangu traditional owners prefer
it if you don't. Gain a further insight into the land, its
stories and the people who inhabit it at the Cultural Centre,
where you'll also have the opportunity to invest in original
arts and crafts by Indigenous artists. We'll have some lunch
before heading over to Kings Canyon. Tonight's dinner is cooked
in a camp oven and the result is delicious! We spend the night
at our permanent campsite at Kings Canyon Resort. (BLD)
Day 3 -
Kings Canyon to Glen Helen
There's a lot to explore at Kings Canyon and we check out
the Amphitheatre, Lost City, the lush and ancient Garden of
Eden and the sheer outcrops of the North and South walls.
After lunch, we travel along the well-known Mereenie Loop
Track (also called the Red Centre Way) where we check out
the 140 million year old meteorite crater, Gosse Bluff. We
pass by the home of acclaimed Indigenous artist Albert Namatjira
as we travel towards Glen Helen, where we spend the night
in our permanent campsite nestled in the western end of the
majestic MacDonnell Ranges. (BLD)
Day 4 -
Glen Helen to Alice Springs
Discover the spectacular geological features of Ormiston Gorge,
before we jump back into the vehicle for some 4WD action through
the ancient track of the Finke River. Most of today is spent
at Palm Valley and Cycad Gorge, exploring what was once a
prehistoric inland sea. Keep your eyes out for the Livistonia
Mariae, a tropical palm and one of the rarest trees in the
world. The spectacular Western MacDonnell Ranges will continue
to impress you all the way back to Alice Springs. Overnight
dorm accommodation included. (BL)
Day 5 -
Alice Springs Relax and explore Alice Springs.
Overnight dorm accommodation included (meals at own expense).
Day 6 -
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 7 -
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 8 -
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 included. (BL)
Day 9 -
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 10
- 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 11 -
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)
