Itinerary
Pre-tour
overnight dorm accommodation included
Day
1 - Alice Springs to Kings Canyon & Uluru
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)L)
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. The spectacular gorge of Twin
Falls is experienced onboard a National Park operated
boat and along the boardwalk. Relax for a while on the sandy
banks before we trek back to Darwin. (BL)
*Dry
Season only. During the Tropical Summer (usually from Dec-Jun)
