ITINERARY:
Pre-tour
overnight dorm accommodation in Darwin is included
Day 1 -
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 2 -
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 3 -
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. Overnight dorm accommodation included. (BL)
Day 4 -
Darwin to Katherine Gorge
Leaving Darwin, we stop for a break at Adelaide River on the
way to Katherine. We spend the whole afternoon at the majestic
Katherine Gorge (Nitmiluk), which is part of the Nitmiluk
National Park. Experience the striking beauty while canoeing
or cruising (at own expense) through the gorge itself. Tonight
we stay at our permanent camp near Katherine Gorge. (LD)
Day 5 -
Katherine Gorge to Tennant Creek
Not far to the south is Mataranka, where you can revive in
a sparkling thermal pool surrounded by lush tropical forest.
Next stop is the iconic Daly Waters outback hotel, the Territory's
oldest pub. Nearby lies Australia's first international airport,
but you won't get a flight back home from here these days!
After lunch, we continue south to Tennant Creek where we camp
overnight at Juno Horse Farm. (BLD)
Day 6 -
Tennant Creek to Alice Springs
This morning we check out the sacred site of the Devils Marbles,
which balance precariously on their rocky perch. From here
we stop in at Barrow Creek Pub, home to the historic Telegraph
Station - catch a glimpse of what Outback telecommunication
used to be like! A visit to Ti Tree gives you the chance to
buy original works of art by Indigenous artists, before crossing
over the Tropic of Capricorn to arrive in Alice Springs late
in the afternoon. Overnight dorm accommodation included. (BL)
Day 7 -
Alice Springs Relax and explore Alice Springs.
Overnight dorm accommodation included. (Meals at own expense)
Day 8 -
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 9 -
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 10 -
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 11 -
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. (BL)
