playing, basket weaving and spear throwing. To finish the
day we head to the spectacular Corroboree Billabong on Mary

river cruise! A secluded campsite at Point Stuart Wilderness
Lodge is where we'll stay tonight. (LD)

swim in the plunge pools. Tonight we stay at our permanent
camp within Kakadu NP. (BLD)

Falls! Once we get there, we'll hike to the base of the

Park operated boat and boardwalk experience. We get to our
campsite at Gunlom just in time to see the vibrant
colours of the tropical sunset take over the evening sky.
