Itinerary
Pre-tour
overnight dorm (shared facilities) accommodation included
in Alice Springs
Day
1 - Alice Springs to Kings Canyon & Uluru
Pre-tour overnight dorm accommodation included: You
will be picked up from your pre-tour dorm accommodation.
Kick off your Red Centre adventure with a drive through James
and Waterhouse Ranges and the ancient Hugh and Finke river
systems on the way to Kings Canyon. There's a bit of exploring
to do here: the monumental North and South Walls, the Amphitheatre,
the Lost City and the lush, inviting Garden of Eden. From
here we head towards another ancient landform, Uluru (Ayers
Rock) where we stay overnight in our private campsite. (LD)
Day
2 - Uluru to Alice Springs
Sunrise at Uluru is worth the early start! Take a stroll
part way around the base and discover mystifying rock formations
and Aboriginal art sites around the base of Uluru. Be fascinated
by the red domes of Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and their spiritual
significance to the Anangu people. We head back to Alice Springs
after lunch, watching through the window as the rugged desert
scenery passes by. Overnight dorm accommodation included.
(BL)
Day
3 - Alice Springs to Tennant Creek
We pass by the Tropic of Capricorn then stop at the Barrow
Creek Pub, home of the telegraph station. Catch a glimpse
of what outback telecommunication used to be like! 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 where we camp for
the night. (LD)
Day
4 - 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. 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 5 - Katherine Gorge to Darwin
The
gorge is all yours this morning, with a half day to spend
canoeing or cruising (at own expense
and 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. Overnight dorm accommodation included
(BL)
Day
6 - Darwin to Kakadu
Travel west into
Woolna Country and receive a Cul Cul or unique welcome to
country by the traditional owners of the land the Limilngan
- Wulna people. Experience the local Aboriginal Culture, cooking
your own bush tucker, playing the didgeridoo, basket weaving
and spear throwing. Spot crocodiles (and other wild creatures!)
on a cruise along the fresh waters of the Mary River Wetlands.
After lunch, discover more about the land and its stories
at the Bowali Visitor Centre. The whole of Kakadu is spread
out before you at Ubirr Rock, where we spend the afternoon.
Tonight we camp in Kakadu National Park. (LD)
Day 7 - Kakadu to Darwin
Jim Jim Falls is our
first stop today, and it's a stunner! You'll feel a bit dwarfed
by the towering cliffs as we hike to the base of the falls.
By now you've probably worked up an appetite for some lunch!
This afternoon the spectacular gorge of Twin Falls
is experienced onboard a National Park operated boat and along
the boardwalk. Unwind for a bit on the sandy banks before
we trek back to Darwin. (BL)
