Day 1 - Alice Springs to Kata Tjuta & Uluru
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. (BL) Day
4 - Alice Springs A day free to relax and enjoy Alice Springs. Overnight
motel accommodation. (Meals at own expense) Day
5 - 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 6 - 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
7 - 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 motel accommodation included. (BL) Day
8 - 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 9 - 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 10 - 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.
